They are recyclable metals, or can be landfill waste. The flux is inconsequential--organic (cellulosic) fluxes (6010, 6011) are biodegradable. Mineral fluxes (7018) are naturally occuring compounds, and non-toxic (until they produce welding smoke 
)
The binders in them are things like organic resins and clay.
If you need further confirmation, consult the MSDS for the specific rod (available for free, online, by the manufacturer).

Just toss them out when your dumping your old paint cans in the trash. 
I always loved what George Carlin used to say about recycling and getting rid of our waste: "How can we be polluting the soil by dumping our waste, when we had to mine for it just to make it in the first place?"
