    You can take it to the nearest recycling depot. The glass will definitely be recyclable.

    I'm sure someone on this board would love it as a reptile tank.

    I would also suggest maybe offering FF on the forums, maybe someone would be interested in fixing it or using it for something else.

    Someone probably willing to pay $25 for it. I had a long list for my leaking 150g (nor crack though) at $50.

    Pretty sure it get picked up in less than 24 hours if you post it FF.

    Mmmmm if the glass is clean, I need a 47" glass door cut and the quote is $79 plus tax. Tempting to pick that up and cut that up ??
