Well, you can use it in a couple of Thermal Expansion machines to smelt them into lava. Or you can exchange them, using the Wand of Equal Trade, to some other blocks. Can't think of anything else really, other than building a castle or some other similar huge building...
I agree with Golrith that way noone can find you and they just think they're digging into a really... really thick dungeon wall.
Or smelt it into smooth stone, and let them just think they're *really* unlucky with ore spawns...
because cobble gens and void piping breaks suspension of belief? feels cheaty?
On vanilla i never ever used a cobble gen of any type. if i needed a hundred stacks of cobble i would bloody well quarry it myself.
It feels no different on ftb. the closest to just throwing stuff away is by recycling it. and i don't recycle cobble. Filling in the holes after a quarry run is a good use of it. got to remove those ugly scars in the landscape.
-Amass your stockpile of cobble
-Channel eventual overflow into a simple smelting setup to begin amassing a stockpile of smooth stone
-Channel eventual overflow of smooth stone into an autocrafting setup to begin amassing a stockpile of stone bricks.
-Channel eventual overflow of stone bricks into:
-a moistener setup to begin amassing a stockpile of mossy stone bricks
-a pulveriser setup to begin amassing a stockpile of cracked stone bricks
There may be others when you start getting into chiseled stone, not to mention that you can process excess cobble into sand (then sandstone, glass, chiseled sandstone). Plus, there's all the slabs as well.
Just think of the different extra-d barrels you could fill...

so you terraform with cobble hmm strange I use dirt or what ever is native to the biome, & this is bloody well not vanilla "sry I had too
" its a collection of tec & magic mods so if you do not wish to use them as there intended why even bother with a mod pack, & you may have missed my point too, that being sending lots of items down pipes/tubes & a sorting network can & often does create lag mostly minor but if lot of ppl do it on a server then it builds up, I am one of them ppl that likes to keep all my stuff as lag free for the server as I can, & have found in tests that voiding at source is far best thing to do with cobble & to create it as needed, oh by god your going to hate tesseracts, thaumcraft, grav/portal gun, oh & most of all soulshards...but I will never tell you what to do maybe offer advice now n then, after all some ppl reckon my 2 cents is over priced..
How about piping it out over a small pool of lava, lots of people I know use lava as trash disposal in Vanilla.

I do get the lag thing, but seriously. If you are playing with redpower, why are you sending your items one by one? put a buffer barrel on there that only accepts cobble, and send them off one stack at a time, or better yet. don't send them anywhere. once the quarry is done, fill in the hole with the cobble, then put a thin layer of dirt on top to make it look all nice and natural again. the filler is your friend. actually... you might not get enough to actually fill the hole... so some cobble gen madness might be needed... same for the dirt. a good thing that you can get dirt from plantballs.
As for soul shards. I love them to death. Making mob torture devices is a lot of fun, and hey. once you get a nice set going your recyclers get plenty of stuff to cycle into scrap... what else are ya gonna do with the item glut several lvl 5 spawners are gonna create?

SMP- drop it through a Myst portal into someone's house, not your problem anymore.
SSP, given the crazy amount of glass I use- I've ran out of cobble before. But with 800 stacks and counting you'll want some kind of automatic disposal. Or crate it before filling barrels.

Pulverize it to sand to use in the induction smelter or to turn it into glass
Cook it into smooth stone to turn into slabs or Stone Brick. Stone Brick can in turn be changed to different decorative blocks through EE3
Tons of recipes need cobble so I always have a bunch of it set aside for that purpose.

yeah soul shards are fun a little OP, soon as you have soon t5's mining is hardly needed any more, yeah scrap all the excess, used with golums is even better & so fun to watch, as to too one item at a time you are correct, sending stack at a time saves a lot on server tic, what I do has items in pipes for the shortest time I can diamond pipe connected to quarry, other end to chest or tesseract, void pipe one of the other points, the distance is so short.
Tube to chest then wooden transport pipe to void.
Either gate or engine to draw out of chest.
Better would actually be to use a diamond pipe to sort out the trash before it hits your tube network.
I personally would use a void pipe, the lava suggestion was for people feeling certain other methods are too cheaty.
