I have the same sort of issues! You could give them away to prison inmates or the homeless, that's one thing I've done in the past. There are still people out there who have not heard the Good News! :)

Use them to study from. I have 32 different versions of the bible.
I have a 4 different Tanak (scriptures of the jews) and 3 Qurans.
I have 2 Tanaks which I downloaded for free onto my computer, and downloaded 2 Qurans. And I have downloaded through
E-Sword, the King James Version of the Bible with The Strong's Concordence in the original Hebrew and Greek of the Bible as well. All these books, and downloads of the three largest religions of the world, through study of them with open (not narrowminded) mind, provide me with a clear understanding of these scriptures, there beliefs and religion without judging them.
I have learned alot. I do not claim to know it all, of course not. But I have learned ALOT, and it is better to learn from the source than to take anothers opinions about these religions.
I also have over 2,000 books in the genres of philosophy and humanism as well. Reading is great, and provides us with a clear, understanding, while having a healthy non-judgmental attitude.
If you choose not to keep any extra copies of any scriptures, whether the bible, the tanak or the quran, give them to the churches, synagoges, etc. of that religion so they can give them freely to people that choose to benefit from them.
Or sell them on e-bay or amazon.com
Many people out there would be happy to pay you, in order to have one, or to buy one to give it away for free to another.

It is good to read different Bibles. I have many Bibles too. I enjoy reading the King James version, when I want to get the message in original form. The Living Bible is good if I am seeking to just read. The Message is great when I go into study. As well as many other ones for different purposes.

well, i have the same problem. I always find a Bible with better study notes or something like that. I would give the extra Bibles to the Salvation Army or to your local homeless / poor ppl shelter. Or to your church. Churches can hand them out as ministry on the street.

I'm sure any Christian church would appreciate the donation. Our church has been known to gift bibles to those who are without.
Better yet - I suggest that you start a bible reading group at work, at school, or somewhere in your community. I purchased several for those who did not have one, but wanted to join the reading group. I sure wish I had had 14 extra!

Churches give them away at the drop of a hat. people take them out of fear of looking impious.
You could turn them into something genuinely useful by shredding and composting them and using the results to make humus for your garden.
Maybe rent a room at a motel and leave all the extras hidden in the room like Easter eggs.

Give them to a Christian ministry and let them handle the disposal problem. Any false bibles, that is bibles that are written by false teacher/organizations calling themselves Christians, but are not, will be tossed and God will be glad of it. Real Bibles will be distributed to poor people who need them. I have several Bibles, but of different kinds. I only have one Bible that is not King James Version---it is the New King James Version. The others that I have are two study Bibles, a Spanish-English KJV, and a KJV Precious Moments Bible for my daughter, whenever I get around to sending it to her. reference Bibles are good to have.

What, pray tell, are you doing with 15 bibles?
I do have, on the other hand, the complete works of Gary Larson, including the latest Far Side anthology.

1. Compare them....interesting what you can find.
2. Take them to a used book store. People do buy them.
3. Leave them on a bus, in a laundry mat, on a park bench.
(God promised His Word would not come back to Him void
and you never know who will pick them up and be saved!)
