cutting glass

gloves goggles and a half brick or club hammer

Used glass tends to shatter but not always. Ofer them free on freecycle/freegle/facebook etc.

That would certainly work! I was wondering if there was a less mess way of doing it though?

put them all in a tough bag first?

I got rid of the safety glass from four doors this way. Dust sheet under them first, then just pour the bits of glass into the wheely bin.

Beware, assuming it is *not* toughened bits will come through quite substantial wrapping. DAMHIK.

Thank you everyone. That has saved me a trip to the tip. I should add, the doors were tinted, so I could not have recycled them. AFAIK the tip only has facilities to collect glass bottles and jars so I think any other glass to big to get through the circular opening in the bottle banks gets thrown away.

I did put the door inside a black bag to contain the glass. Perhaps considering your warning, it would be best to put the object inside two bags: one inside the other if the type of glass is unknown?

It was safety glass, which I thought it would be as it was on a cupboard but I also thought that safety glass had a mark on it to say so, or is that just windows and perhaps a more recent thing?

Thanks Stephen.
