    Build a green house, put art in them, SELL to people like me who love to do things with them. DON'T throw them away. Put them on a curb with a free sign!

    There are hundreds (thousands?) of ways to use these windows. Whatever you do, don't throw them away! In every area where I have lived, the antiques malls are selling them for premium prices and there are many people who would love to buy them. Prices on the ones I have seen range from $30 to $100 each. In large towns they might bring more.

    See if the windows are in good enough condition to sell them to someone who is building a home and wants to recycle old windows. Re-use, Reduce, Recycle.
