I am dismantling my 10 x 8 old Alton greenhouse this weekend. All glass
is okay but 50% of wood is rotten and needs replacing.
Would it be worth asking anywhere if anyone wants it? I can take it to
the tip but i suddenly thought there might be someone who could make use
of it?

If anyone here wants to collect it I'm in Amersham.
It does need wood replacing though.

Cold frames on recycled bricks or blocks? Don't lose the glass@

No I try and use special glass Sacha or even that plastic stuff as i am
always scared of falling in one or the dogs breaking it.
(A friend fell on hers and cut herself badly and the children over the
back threw stones on my last glass panes!
The glass is from 1980 and seems more fragile than i remember now it's
out of its runners.

Horticultral greenhouse glass is normally of 2 standard sizes so it
should be able to be reused.

One of those recycling yards might like it. I used some in a previous house
to replace old window panes. Greenhouse glass was perfect then because it
had slight imperfections in it that matched those of the old windows!

Freecycle is a bit of a pain to join!
I just want to advertise the glass etc but first I have had to join
yahoogroups, (good grief there's some right twerps on some of those!)
and then I have had to APPLY with information about myself AND to
justify why I wish to join!

All I want to do is offload the glass etc, it's taken me an hour already
as they didn't like my ID choices and certainly not happy if I need to
put up my biography....

I have the same problem, but next month, I think I shall put a card in the village shop window and see if anyone wants it.

Does your town/county have a web forum? If so, it may be worth posting it on that.

Freecycle is capable of a quick turnaround. The protocol states you
should pick up within a very short period, I think around 3 days, and
you can always say if your timescale is shorter than that. And you don't
have to give it to the first response, so you can go for the person who
sounds least likely to mess you around.

The message
from Granity contains these words:

I'm always willing to accept glass - but Bucks is a bit far to go, and
even further back, by public transport...

Agree re freecycle, just got rid of 4 bags of monbretia, and I was very
careful, and made sure they all had corms, and there were no weeds....

Apparently my application to join High Wycombe free cycle group was
denied as i didn't say where I lived (I did!) and /or i didn't give a
reason for joining (I Did!) and apparently they can't read what goes on
the application so could I redo it in another window and they can't
accept applications by email .

Then i got a second email saying i was about to be rejected but did i
know Chiltern group was nearer to me and I should feel free to reapply.

Not likely, .... I only wanted to give away my greenhouse, I didn't
realise it would be so contorted to join/offer anything!

I'll start taking it down the tip tomorrow, complete with all intact
panes of glass!
