Your best bet would probably be to rent a jackhammer for a little while to smash it into smaller peices and remove those. This method should only take you ten minutes or so to break apart the slab and a little bit more time to remove the concrete chunks. An electric jackhammer is pretty cheap to rent for such a short period of time, and it will probably be the easiest and fastest way to take care of it. Otherwise you might have to try digging around the slab to get a little room and using two or three people with metal poles to leverage it out of the hole. Either way, it doesn't seem like an easy task. Good luck. “does anyone have any advice on how to remove a 250-300 lb block of cement from the ground?”
