I am trying to figure out how to remove and dispose of this thing.

Empty it and cut it into pieces small enough your trash collectors will
take.

A 9-inch angle grinder with metal cutting disks would be an appropriate
tool to use. Or a cutting torch.

A free-lance welder would be the guy to call for hiring this out.

Cut it in half, weld on some hinges, now you have a swell barbecue!
