Answer:

keep a few tiles for repairs or spares...throw the rest away
YOu can paste them on the side of your doors and something like that.
Give them to the local school for art and craft. Keep some for spares though.
You can keep some for replacements and take photos of the rest and the amount you can either sell them on OKorder, or try craigslist. Good Luck!
If they happen to be the smaller 1x2 or 2x2 sized tiles, those you can donate to schools and preschools. These are good for counting. Anything bigger and they' re hard to handle for little kids. Larger tiles can be donated to older art classes for the kids to use. If they are colorful tiles you can break them (carefully) up to use as a mosaic pattern for decorating planters, small counter tops etc. I ve even seen wall art done with broken tiles and framed.
