How do I dispose of a junk boat in Florida?

Question

I have an unsalvagable boat and I live in the Tampa Bay area. I need to get rid of it but do not know who to call or how to go about it. If anyone can give me this information I would be greatful. Thanks!

I have gotten silly answers to this question in other catergories so I am adding to this by saying I am looking for informative, intelligent, LEGAL and useful answers and request that those who wish to give me ridiculous answers not waste my time and save it for someone who deserves it. Thanks!
