What to do with a lost iPhone the owner doesn't want

I recently found an iPhone and contacted the number displayed in the screen, once I got in touch with the owner he said he got a new phone and to go what I want with it. But what do you do with a phone that has been reported lost?

The best thing to do would be to turn it over to the police. Then if it's not claimed after a while they should return it to you.
