haul away

Take it elsewhere

To haul away is to remove something by carrying or transporting it, typically something large, heavy, or unwanted: The city will haul away old appliances for free.

The phrase emphasizes both the effort involved and the departure—you don't just move the thing, you take it somewhere else entirely.

They hauled away three truckloads of debris after the storm.
