Sometimes making home improvements can leave you with old items that require extra care when disposing. Like windows. Before you put them out with the trash, consider the damage the glass pane can cause if not disposed of properly. Here are a few options for recycling old windows that are less likely to become hazardous or added to a landfill.

What to do with Old Windows

Depending on the condition of the window, there are several options for future use.

1. Sell, donate, or give away: If the windows are in good condition, you could try selling them online through various marketplace platforms. Consider donating them to organizations or individuals in need. Habitat for Humanity or local community centers may be interested in accepting them for reuse in construction projects. Alternatively, you can give them away to someone who might need them.
2. Recycle: Check with your local facilities to see if they accept windows. Some areas have specific programs for recycling glass or construction materials.
3. Reuse: Get creative and give your old windows a new purpose. They can be used for various DIY projects in and around the home and garden.

If you’d rather not be bothered with selling, donating, or reusing yourself, there’s still one place you can call.
