They can't come up with an economic use for it, and you are asking us?

They’re in the business of making kitchen counters. They probably aren’t
paying attention to possible creative ways to use the scrap.
I was thinking of putting facing on concrete retaining walls. I don’t
have any walls right now that need facing, but it’s an idea.
This is a pic of their rolloff:

See what they would charge to square them up and deburr the edges. Stick
rubber feet on them, and sell them at local hamfest as soldering stations.
(burn proof, protect the wood bench or desk, etc.) The polished flat scraps
are always useful for hobby folks as flat bulletproof work surfaces. Big
coasters for snacks on the coffee table? Saw then into small squares as
paperweights? Make gravestones for backyard pet burials? With a sheet of wet
sandpaper, makes a good honing block to flatten/polish mating engine parts.
All sorts of uses for people who get their hands dirty. I'd love to have a
few laying around here.

Michelangelo never had a diamond wet saw.
You can use a cold chisel and mallet to scribe a line and break along that
line for starters. Counters (bathroom vanity, bistro table) with chiseled
or flamed edge might be acceptable. These would also make good stair treds,
stepping stones, clock faces, cascade stone for fountain (now there is
something you can sell) etc. Watch a few Flintstones episodes for more
ideas.
Any stone sculpture classes at your local Jr College?

Fine, as long as they don't mind being taken for granite...
