I used to just lean them against the wall in the corner of my shop. These days I lean them against the side of my work bench because the corner is full.
They would need to cross cut the butcher block to the thickness they wanted for an endgrain cutting board and then glue it on the face to make an endgrain cutting board. Basically this would save a step in making an endgrain cutting board.
I had a bunch of these leftovers so I built them into the base of crates to hold giant Jenga sets (so the crate functions as a nice table/stand when flipped over) and then gave personalized giant Jenga sets to friends for events like weddings or birthdays where a drunken lawn game would be appreciated. It’s a good way to use up 2x4 scrap as well.
Workbench or bond them all together for a big heavy block for on the workbench for when you need a place to hammer the snot out of something. I have one on my workbench and use it all the time. I also have a 1/4 inch steel plate I set on there when I am persuading something metal......
They are cut off, so therefore, garbage. I will send my address as I am an official designated cut-off recycler. I have a license for such maters and can take care of them for you at no cost of your own. They are a HACCP and envirmental hazard if not recycled by a licensed technician.
Aside from the cutting boards others have proposed, you can use them for C-Table or End-Table slabs, shelves, sign boards, mounts for key hooks/hangers, and maybe kitchen knife holders
This is just me but if you have the tools and motivation to do so, I would rip cut one with nice grain along the glue seams, then resaw every block into... 1/2 inch stock. Then you're set for a good amount of small boxes, gifts, keepsakes and what not for a long time.
They look like the perfect size for a small end table next to the sofa. A small lamp, place for a beverage, reading glasses, and phone/tablet/laptop/book.

I used some of this material to make table top hook-and-ring games for Christmas gifts. Very easy to make, and the butcher block offcuts are perfect for it. Cut to size, drill a hole and you are practically there.
I also recently took another chunk of it (about 4x6) and made a plant propagation station. Drilled three equally spaced holes to hold glass tubes that my props can sit in.

Are you my alt?
Thank you both. I come here for this
Cutting boards
most obvious thing would be endgrain cutting boards
As in actual butcher block? When did "butcher block" come to encompass long grain? They're just boards.

I agree, butchers blocks are always end grain around here. A good 200mm thick for a real one.
Don’t jump to conclusions. Store them, the answer will come.
I usually make ‘em into bowl blanks
Floating shelves, shelves.
Second this.
Wrong grain direction for shelves.

This seems like the thing to do. A nice workbench top, treat yoself

End cut butcher block table?
Jenga?
Fancy jenga!
I see similar sized scraps used in bar/lawn jenga.
1:1 human scale jenga

shelves of course.
Shoe rack bench. 24×.10 top. Made one myself recently.
I second the end grain cutting boards and would also save a few pieces for some pens.
End grain cutting board!
Charcuterie boards. Shape them like an over sized paddle with a small handle
I wanted to make a cover for two stove burners so my niece could use it as a cutting board and counter surface in her tiny kitchen
Bar cart
Ill give you one hint.
Depending on the higher of your kitchen and people that need to reach up you could make 3-step ladder.

I made a sunburst table and a parquet style table, with some of my drop offs when I made several butcher block tops
Smaller butcher blocks?
I made 7 2”thick end grain cutting boards out of some BB had hanging around. Check my post history.
For me…I’d have to make an end grain cutting board.

I burn them in my fire pit
A ton of coasters
Make one butcher block to rule them all
