Make a rug with it or turn it into dog leashes.

you can donate it to Red River Outdoors or save it for the next Sterling Rope Recycling (where for every rope donated you get a chance to win a new rope).

Yup. Rugs are good. There were some links to how to weave the rugs out of it on some other climbing site last year. Forget which one, but it was also shown in a magazine.
I also used one fordecor and roped off a deck, to look like a sailing ship's rigging.

Make a fire escape.
Take an old harness, an old belay device & biner and leave them in your bedroom closet. If your stuck on the 2nd or 3rd floor of your house and a fire breaks out, simply run the rope around the hinge in the closet (be sure to reinforce the hinge now with some 3.5" screws). Throw the free ends out the window and rap out, fuck the knots in the end of the rope and all the other rappel backup shite.
I'm sure a decent rope ladder could be made also.
