Art? Make a coffee table or something.. hang them up on the wall of your garage as trophies?

Since you have two, you could make two glass top end tables...

Both are great options! If you're really strapped on cash.. you COULD recycle them but its not much you'll get back. I've done this once and you only get about $0.50 a pound depending on your area.
