What to do with leftover setts?

Setts and cobbles, tarmac, asphalt, resin systems, concrete whether it's plain, patterned or stencilled, gravels, etc.

I'm not sure this is the place to ask this, but...

I bought a load of granite setts (pinks/greys) for my driveway from a friend who had them leftover from his driveway, and now I'm left with the remainder (a few tonnes?). Should I just hire a skip and have them binned or are there people that take them and use them? I have absolutely no idea but it would be a pity for them to go to waste.

The concentration of 'decent shapes' among them is less than it used to be having been 'sifted through' a little so perhaps binning them is the best option.

Or Gumtree and don't mention about seconds let the buyer decide. Even poor ones can be used somewhere I usually guilotine them into 50's and you end up with 2 good faces.
