Depends what you mean by a modest fee. My local council will collect such
things for a fee.

My council will collect for free.

The OP needs to beware of fly-tipping "man with a van". A call to
the council seems an obvious first move.

Measure the glass and put on your local freecycle group, gumtree and
preloved.

You never know someone might like the glass and happy to take away the
whole thing for free.

Freegle
Freecycle
Gumtree
If all else fails, pay a licensed waste disposal company to take them

PS if you ebay stuff you could always offer them for 99p.

Solihull Council *won't* collect doors, windows, fishtanks or anything more than 50% glass.

Any allotments near you? Someone might take them for a cloche or potting shed.
