No idea what country you're in. If you have an Apple Store in your area, they will recycle it for free. Most major electronics retailers around the world also have recycling programs.
I wouldn't consider it worth repairing.
Apple will only have parts and repair it if your iMac's SUB-MODEL ( the part with a year) is NOT listed as Vintage or Obsolete in this Apple support artilce:
Obtaining service for your Apple product after an expired warranty - Apple Support
IN 5K iMacs, the display is one sealed assembly and any service requires installing a new display assembly. For this iMac, that is a very expensive service. I see used/pulled display assemblies stating at US$340 parts only. The total cost of the repair would go a long way toward a newer Mac.
+1 I agree, that it is not worth replacing an old Intel iMac's broken screen.

If you're considering getting a new Mac to replace the damaged one consider the following: a 10 Core Mac Mini M4 with 16 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD ($999 + tax) with a 27" LG 4k monitor ($250 + tax from Amazon.com) is $1249 + tax which is $560 less than a similarly configured new 24" iMac ($1799 + tax) re 07/2025.
I got the same Mac Mini M4 but with a 32" 4k monitor w/speakers and it still was $470 US less than an iMac.
Just some food for thought.
I dont know, what country you are in?
27" display iMac I very expensive in my country.
Replace the screen is still a solution think!
Why recycle a..........2015-2020 iMac?
I dont know what year, or what OS your iMac is running?
But recycling is crazy ,in my opinion!
