If you give it away, whoever takes it should pay to remove it. Besides craigslist, yahoo has a group called Freecycle. I don't know about cutting it up though……depends on what it's made of.

I'll assume it's not built in and is made of fiberglass. in that case they are not that heavy. you have to remove the decking around it.

If your gonna go destrucktoe on this a chop saw would be faster, but if you value your lungs and eyes you'll have a filtered mask and goggles cause fiberglass shavings and dust ain't healthy for you in a very bad way . I mean ain't ya' gonna have ta take the deck apart to fix the hole from the tub anyway? The thing is thick and heavy and it's not gonna be easy, you can do it ,but take plenty of safety precautions cause you know your friends would never let you live down " the time you almost killed yourself taking the tub apart ! "

sure a saws-all will work. im assuming its fiberglass. you might want to first advertise it as free and that if they want it they need to pay for the removal. they could rent a hydrualic hoist or a gantry with nylon straps at the local rental place to take it out and get it on the bed of a truck.

You could use a saw, but make sure to wear gloves, eye protection and a mask over your nose and mouth. Most hot tubs are fiberglass, so you don't want any of the dust or fragments in your skin, eyes or lungs.
