It "popped" some time ago and has been on the grass deflated in my garden for months. It's obviously covered in bugs and god knows what else. Due to the lay out of my house it is not possible to bring it through the house to the front for disposal. It is also too large to cut up.

It was delivered (folded uo) in a box. As it has been in the garden for some time (as mentioned before, covered in bugs by now, and wet where we've had snow and rain) it is not possible to fold and box it.

Try phoning your local environmental council and see if they can suggest a way of disposing of it. They may make arrangements for someone to come out and collect it from you.

I don't think there is a good answer for this question.
One way to dispose of it would be to clean it up, patch it, and then sell it. Removing it could then be the responsibility of the buyer.
If selling it isn't an option, then the choices come down to:
1) bury it -- this might require sub-surface disposal permit
2) burn it -- you might not have the space for a safe fire, and I doubt you could get the permit to burn trash
3) remove it.
To remove it, you'll need to cut it up into manageable pieces. To make the job less messy, hose it down to remove most of the accumulated debris. Let it dry.
Chances are, it will cut with a sharp razor knife or a set of loping garden trimmers. Cut it into pieces that can be folded and placed in cardboard boxes or trash bags.
If you life in an area with a recycling program, check to see if the material is recyclable. You might need to arrange a special pickup.
If the material is not-recyclable, you may need to meter how quickly you dispose of it. Some private trash removal services will charge extra for an unusual amount of trash in a single pickup.

Why is it too large to cut up? I would just hose it off and get out there with long sleeves, gloves and a big knife.
Since it's been out there so long, it has probably done the hard work of killing grass and weeds so that you can have the opportunity to start a new flowerbed. Dump on some bagged topsoil and plant some pretty things!

right a sharp knife and lots of time use a sharp stanley knife not the one thats been in the draw for the last sixteen years. buy new blades and cut the bouncy castle into peices. either that or roll it up and throw it over you`re back fence and into the waiting skip.
bag the bits and take them throught the house to your car and to the dump
didn`t think it was that much of a problem but if you will let the problem sit there rather then dealing with it then you`re problem

Take it out the same way it came in. I bet if you put an advert on the supermarket notice board saying "free for collection" it would go quickly.

How did it get there?
It must be possible to remove it in reverse of how it was installed.
Try posting it on your local "freecycle" (see Yahoo Groups), I'm sure there'll be someone who'd fancy fixing it up!
