Cutting up an outdoor hot tub for disposal

Assuming it's fiberglass I'd use a diamond or carbide grit recip saw to cut it to manageable chunks. It'd eat through several regular blades. Disposal depends on your locale. Around here I'd have to call a private hauler of some kind. What would you do with a regular glass tub?

Brought this up a few moths ago. Tub is still in place, glad the manual for cleanup is here. 24 foot sailboat is next. Please have photos. Thanks! 

Drop the mast, remove the boat's registration plate and any identifiers, scuttle it by dark of night in 30 ft, mark the spot to tog there next year.

Burn it.

 

Puts off a lot of smoke, even with a hot fire.

 

But yeah, that's what I did with mine after sawzalling it up into manageable pieces. At least the cedar enclosure burnt nicely.  

I'll have mine on the rocks.

Burning fiberglass does give off quite a special aroma. 

Shag, is the keel on the sailboat made out of lead?

 

Yup! Lots of bucktails and sinkers there.
