The standard treatment for a tank to be cut is to first obtain a lot of
dry ice, bust the dry ice into small chunks and drop the chunks down the
filler pipe. Wait about a half hour for the dry ice to sublimate to the CO2
that it is, and then begin to cut. The CO2 filling the tank displaces the
air and prevents combustion.

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!

be aware the sludge can be hazardous and might be fire hazard taking
cutter to a old tank filled with oil vapors

call a oil supplier and have the tank properly disposed of............
