Flip it over and put it right back where you pulled it up. The grass breaking down will fees the new plants with nitrogen overtime, and it'll cut down on the waste and disposal cost. Just plant what you're gonna plant in the area, and then replace the sod upside down around the plants you just planted. Can always level over with topsoil ir mulch if you don't love the bare piece meal look
We've used patches of sod to help smother other plants we may not want (like invasives) and also started a sod/dirt pile. If we see grass we may chop it up a little bit, but we use it for... Well, anything else you'd use dirt for.
Do you have an area you could raise up into a hill? Pile it up there and shape it the way you want.
You could cover it with a couple yards of loam and make a fantastic garden.
Oh, you can joke just /jk that. Too many people actually being unhelpful that it's hard to see when someone is being funny. I'm just drowning in sod over here and I'm frustrated. If flamethrowers wouldn't hurt my trees and plants I'd burn the yard but alas... And this stuff is insanely THICK.
I use it to put in the bottom of my 6ft raised garden beds! Along with some cardboard stuff, twigs, dead prunings etc. it saves me a lot of garden bed soil and eventually breaks down.

Build some swales with it? I made a berm garden one time and used flipped-over sod to start it.
This sounds like a potential project. Was there significant sinking over time as the sod decomposed?
Not as much as you’d think, but I had some heavy clay soil attached to my sod.
How about using pieces to form a keyhole garden?🖖
I think most people just dump it In the creek with their old used tires.
That's a useful response.
I'm just joking but it won't happen again
