They can also be recycled at a local concrete recycler. If you cannot locate one in your area, many communities offer drop-off points for construction leftovers to be re-used by a neighbor or places to crop off such items so the village or town can dispose of them.
Some of your neighbors might be looking for landfill for a project, so you might be able to put them out near the street with a sign on it, FREE.
Could you make them into a Wishing Well?
Paint different colors. Place them together with some on top of the other. Use plastic or a black weed killer cloth and put it at the bottom of each of the holes. You can do plantings there with Plants that spillover from the top and some that just stand up right.
You could use them to make raised gardens, or as edging for gardens. They also can be used to make a water fall if you like water features, painted they can be used as planters, they can make steps or can be used for terracing if you have a slope
You could try using them in landscaping. Pile some together and cover with concrete to look like rocks.
Use them like you would use large rocks in landscaping. They are great to hold down tarps or landscaping material.
If you don't find a use for them, reach out to local companies that sell rock. Many of them will accept them and recycle them as part of ready-mix rather than going into a landfill.
I would place an ad on a local website such as NextDoor or Facebook Marketplace and advertise as "free". There are likely people looking for fill product.
Hi Kathy! You can take blocks to your local landfill, donate it in a charity or just give them online.
I know people that paint them and use them as rustic planters!
