If you don't have a floppy drive in your computer, you can get a USB external drive like this : Amazon.co.uk User Recommendation

If you mean the 3 1/2" ones then old computers and some musical keyboards (like my PA500 Korg.) use them.

Yes that is what I mean, I have no use for them and wondered if charities etc needed them still

If there's any personal information on them, make sure you reformat them before either giving or throwing them away.
