We're currently using waste heat in Denmark from data centres (and other industry including power plants, CHP - Combined Heat & Power) in district heating. Heat up the water and pump it down pipes to people's homes.
My home is for example heated up primarily by a cement factory, a CHP plant, and a waste incinerator.
