Sometimes a museum will take medals off of your hands, and if not, go to the original grave of whoever was awarded the medals, and bury them just a little bit under the soil. Those are the most respectful ways to dispose of them.

You should wear them on the right side.

Is it appropriate to wear miniature military medals on civilian black tie attire tuxedo?

Military medals and insignia that you have earned are entirely appropriate for a black or white tie event when wearing a tuxedo or a dinner jacket. Wear them the same way you would for the corresponding military uniform - that is "mess dress" or "dinner dress." This generally means miniature medals and devices over the lapel of the jacket. Ribbons for which there is no medal, and and large medals should only be worn with the military uniforms.
