What to do with a broken glass panel

I have a used 90 gallon tank that was plumbed when I got it. In the process of cleaning it to make it ready for setting up, the back panel cracked.

I have read about replacing it. The cost of the glass is so expensive, $100 and I am not sure I want to spend that money or risking the effort.

Any other suggestions on what to do with the tank? If not how do you get rid of a broken tank?
 
Put it in the back of a pickup truck and take it to the dump. They will have a dumpster to drop it into.

I wouldn't try fixing it, the hospital bills will be more than the cost of the tank unless you experience with doing this...not to mention it is way too frustrating to scrape all the silicone off perfectly; you can't stick silicone to silicone. If you think about that, you will almost always end up rebuilding the entire tank and not just the one panel.
