They should build a big monolith out of all the excess bales and turn it into a tourist attraction. You could call it :-

I thought that place was called Ayers Rock? Turns out, all a ruse.

Couldn’t they make some money by selling it overseas where it can be processed for cheap?

They are already doing that and "Fast Fashion" is also going to the landfill.

This way we save some extra steps
