Inground pool on apartment

[Jimmy H.]

An apartment i'm analyzing for purchase has an old poured concrete in-ground pool that is out of order and use. It is a liability and I have no intentions of restoring it for use. My options (as far as i can imagine) are to fill it in with concrete or have someone jack it up. There is a slight possibility that I would like to use the space for extra parking so I am thinking jacking it up and leaving it as green space and leaving the option of turning it into parking lot is the best option.

I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on which option to pursue, and more importantly whom to call for such services. If i want to jack the pool up and have it hauled off and filled in with dirt do I call a big contractor in the area with subs, a concrete contractor (they won't be pouring any concrete just jacking it up and hauling it off), or a commercial contractor, or just some guy with a jack hammer and a big truck? I am looking for the most economical way to remove this pool and fill it in with dirt and throw some seed on top.

Thoughts?

I've put concrete in a rolloff dumpster. They just charged extra for tonnage.

My question is why not just fill it with dirt? Compact it, then relevel the whole area 3-4 inches higher with topsoil?

Plant a few trees in your new green area, and the roots will take care of any drainage issues in a few years, I'd think
