Cast iron ones I bash up with a sledge. Plastic just cut it up with a sawsall and put it on the curb trash day.

I took our hall bath tub out today. Original fiberglass shower/tub unit installed in 1990. I bought the harbor freight
variable reciprocating saw for this purpose. We're renovating so I'm cutting out studs too. I also picked up a pack of blades for $8.99. I wouldn't trust the blades for cutting through nails but they did fine with the fiberglass. I used the black blades on the tub. The saw is even better if you can scrounge up a 20% coupon.
I've taken out tubs with a sledge hammer... not a pleasant day.

women have trouble understanding Trump's MAGA theme because they had so little involvement in making America great the first time around.

I paid to have ours removed, and the guy choose to get help and remove it in one piece. When I asked he said there's usually so much damage to the room when you break it up it's easier to go one piece. Not suggesting you do that, just saying plan ahead.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
