Planets... and Sun linning up in your favor.

Can you just bust the top of it in and then fill it with sand? It looks like you have a pretty good sized lot there!

Yes it is a 3 piece cement top that is 6" thick. Remove the tops and it opens the tank.

The common abandonment is break out the tank floor (so it will not hold water) with a jack hammer and cave in the walls and fill over with a product called Fill Dirt.

The problem with caving in the walls is it leaves all kinds of voids and air pockets in there, then the ground area keeps settling over time > it is a crappy way to do it in my opinion.

I want to break up the tank and remove as much of it that's in the ground that I can so that it is a clean building site with no burried obstacles.

If a person wants to put up a power pole, you don't want to be running into an old septic tank in the process.

One other good option is it's legal to turn the septic tank into a cistern for irrigation purposes like watering a big lawn. Rain water catch tank, much better to water lawns with than chlorinated city water.
