Actually, the check numbers are just for your benefit to help you keep your check book organized and balanced. The bank doesn't really care about them.
You can void the check if you want. Or you can use it for another transaction. Whenever I pay bills online or over the phone I use a made up check number and save my paper checks for when I need them.

You can shred it or you can write VOID on the face and hold it so that you have a record of the transaction.

write it out as if you were using it to pay the bill
then write "VOID" on the signature line on on the back
and then save it until your cancelled checks come in and you can reconcile it
