I would do this without any gloves and in my home slippers.

I think you have the job.

I had a look at freecycle and there's nothing in our area. The trusty local Facebook group might offer solutions for rehoming if it is salvagable.

Re: insurance I guess from what's been said, a reputable local tradesperson should have cover for any incidents. Perhaps a written agreement rather than just verbal to cover ourselves. Not the usual man-with-a-van and cash in hand job.

Also if it is someone properly registered, they will charge more as they will get charged for taking it to the tip.
Whereas someone unofficial might just take what they want and flytip the rest.

We got rid of ours several years ago, can’t remember what site we advertised on, but it was free if buyer dismantled, a couple came and did just that, they wanted it for their allotment, but I must admit, we never considered any legal permutations…

Exactly the same here.

Try Trashnothing.com  explain it is free but needs removing.  We have put things on there and they have gone in seconds.

It depends how old the greenhouse is.  Our greenhouse has safety glass and when we've lost panes in storms, they shatter into a gazilliontrillion pieces, make a helluva mess and we need the old vax vacuum cleaner to suck it all up.  If it's old skool glass, it might be easier to tidy up.  Whichever, yes you need proper shoes and gloves.

OP, an allotment owner will probably be able to do something with just the frame.
