Want to get rid of a greenhouse, how?!

Hi. Im a newbie to this board. I have this awful greenhouse in my garden that is an eyesore! It sits there and is full of junk and just makes the place look untidy. It's quite big but how can I get rid of it? Ideally I would like to take it down and turf it for the kids.

Thanks.

Does it really have to go?
Can you haul all the junk out, give it a lick of paint and replace the lower {child height} glass with polycarbon?
You could transform it into an asset in a day.
Or grow a really fast growing climber over it.
eg Vitus cognetia

If it can be taken apart and rebuilt, put it on Freecycle.

I gave both of ours away - collector dismantles. You get rid of it and they get a greenhouse. Try Freecycle and free ads in your local paper also if you have a local shop - put a card in the window.

im with jeremys... bloody expensive to have put in if you decide you want one later... think of all the lovely tomatoes etc you can get the kids to grow (and then eat)
