Default When to replace your helmet?

Hey guys.

I did a search and found a lot of thread talking about what helmet to buy...but very little info on WHEN you should replace your lid.

I have been wearing the same full face helmet for 6 seasons now...and though its still practically scratchless...I figure 6 years is probably long enough to go on the same helmet.

So...when do you guys replace your lids, assuming no wrecks?

What the heck do you do with your old ones? Seems a waste to just throw them in the garbage...is there some kind of recycling program?

I will be visiting my dealer again to try on a bunch of helmets and see which one fits me best...but I was hoping to get this question answered just for my own knowledge (and because I imagine others will do the same search).

Thanks!
