I have three of these aluminium framed patio doors which were removed from my lounge and replaced with new ones. They are approx 1950mm x 1100mm, two were fixed panels the other was movable and has handles and little wheels under it. It seems a shame to scrap them, I believe them to be toughened glass and might be useful for constructing solar panels or wind shields for plants or the basis for a DIY green house or some other project. If anyone wants them they can have them for free but must collect. I live in North Shropshire. Don

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Donwill saying something like:

As others have said, try Freecycle or Freegle (whichever flavour your local group happens to be).
Probably as well *not* to take them to the tip. I saw someone trying to dispose of some at a "Household Waste Collection Centre" down in Hampshire a couple of weeks ago, and the tip staff were refusing to accept them on the basis that they were industrial waste - not household! I don't know what the final outcome was - they were still arguing the toss when I left.
Make them into very narrow aquariums and get some very small tropical fish ! Simon.
Giant ant farm!
