If it’s actually cast iron, it can be broken with a sledgehammer. Wear ear and eye protection, it’s excitingly loud when you hit it hard enough.’
If it doesn’t shatter, rent or borrow a “sawzall” type reciprocating saw (are real plug-in one, not a cordless) and buy about a dozen 8-12 inch long metal cutting blades. This can all be accomplished atHome Depot. You should be able to cut the tub into three or four pieces and end up withparts small enough to carry out. Again, ear and eye protection are important.

Yes, you should be able to hit it with a sledge hammer and get it to shatter. Wear plenty of ear protection though; it’s amazingly loud. I wouldn’t recommend trying to cut it unless it’s very thin. Older cast iron tubs are usually 1/4 inch thick or so. If you absolutely have to cut it you’ll need several carbide tipped blades. HD or Lowe’s sells them.

I think you would be better off as just_wondering stated- try to get someone not only to come and get it, but to pay YOU to do it!!

Just curious…by “upper level home” do you mean upstairs in your home or that you live above someone else? If the latter is the case, I would take noise factors into consideration if you want to get along with your neighbors. Also, cast iron tubs are pretty dated (and very heavy), so the flooring under the tub should also be checked. If not in extremely good condition, will the tub go crashing thru the floor if you start beating on it? Will the ceilings and or light fixtures underneath hold up? Just a few thoughts….
