UK - Help getting rid of domestic Chubb safe

Hi all,

I recently moved into a house in Worcestershire (UK) with a small Chubb safe in one of the rooms on the ground floor. It measures approximately 45cm wide x 42cm deep x 53cm high. No idea how much it weighs but a search online suggested likely over 250kg.

Previous owners left us the combination and it works although I think we're missing a change key to alter the combination.

I want to get rid of it but it's too heavy for my partner and I to move. I tried removing the door but can't figure out how. I tried listing on Facebook Marketplace but got nowhere. I've contacted some safe disposal companies but they're quoting £500 - £1000 and I can't justify that.

Can anybody here help with:

Recommending any companies I could contact?

Any specialist marketplaces where I could list it?

Suggesting what tools I could get to help my partner and I get it out of the house ourselves?

Explaining how I get the door off?

Edit: it is on the ground floor but there's a single step at the front door.

Thanks for all the replies!
