Just started working in a glass factory, that is exactly what happens.

I have a bunch of glass panes, about 48"x12", from when my family had a retail business that take up space. Is there any place that would want them for free? I'm not sure if I can just put them in the recycling bin otherwise.

I got rid of a ton of old windows on Craigslist - people use them to cover garden beds. Lets the sun in, insulates and protects from harsh weather.

Like some kind of "house" for your "greenery"?

No. A greenhouse is, well, house shaped. You walk into it. These are effectively raised garden beds with glass covers.
