I've actually just scraped them off with the hive tool and reuse them. The bees do a pretty good job accepting them and reusing them. Due to mites, I usually let them sit until the next year if possible.
That's actually one of my favorite spring pastimes, sitting outside in a lawn chair scraping old plastic frames and cleaning wooden frames and installing wax starter strips.
I accumulate the wax and run it through my homemade solar melter.
