I have several dead Olympus film camera bodies and lenses. Does any know if there are places that recycle old cameras?

Some ideas.

Here is an interesting use of an old camera for a photographer: http://www.diyphotography.net/use-your-old-camera-as-a-desk-lamp

I passed off several to a camera repair shop I respect. There's always a need for parts for older models, and who better to know which is which and get them to the right place. Not recycle certainly, but for me re-use is an even higher fate for old tech.

Sell them on eBay. People buy them for parts.
