Then Demolish the house.

A Licensed contractor who is licensed and has means for the removal of all materials.

A quality demolition expert will have an estimate (should be at no cost) that spells out the satisfaction of all these items and referrals.

Most contractors for house demolition will get the permits from the city that are needed for the project and include that in the pricing.
