@Tina174 The TV is yours to do as you wish.

Sell it, give it away or scrap it.

They don't command high second-hand prices though, and are difficult to transport.

Sky also say they will accept Glass sets at their shops for recycling (although I'd imagine the staff won't be delighted ; )

Depending on which model of Glass TV you have, the Sky Glass Air may not necessarily be an upgrade. It uses different technology to both the original Sky Glass and the Sky Glass gen2 TV.

The Air is cheaper for a reason - it only has global dimming instead of local dimming. It also has no soundbar so sounds a lot worse.

If you want to dispose of your current Glass TV then eBay is always flooded with them (currently 170+ of them on there, some as cheap as £50) so you may be better advertising it locally on Facebook Marketplace or similar.

Alternatively, maybe try donating it to a local charity.
