Perhaps someone has addressed this, so apologies in advance if I am restating things.  With no documented history these needles should be considered hazardous materials, therefore necessitating disposal following federal guidelines.

As I said in a prior email, the person who dropped them off without asking ahead is a well known one to me - she's been doing this for a while with no signs of slowing down! - so my solution may be to try to convince her to come and pick them up, which again, will be difficult, so I was attempting to cover my bases in the off-chance that I am stuck with needles, which is a high possibility with this particular donor.

>>> First, please let me point out that this is not about accessibility, the subject in your email - I have deleted that in my reply.  I am naive, and it never crossed my mind that the syringes may be contaminated, since you said they were old.  Many conservators have a hard time getting glass syringes to use for glue and resin applications.  You may want to consider giving them to a conservator.  I have no idea how you handle any legal issues, but someone "donated" them to you without worrying about that.  In the future, please educate your front line staff NOT to accept anything other than money.  I am sure you have already handled this!!
