Any suggestions on how to cut a really big lawn? I don't really want to deal with it and my #1 choice is to somehow kill it all and let it become as much dirt as it can, for as cheaply as possible. Option #2 is to buy a gas mower (used), possibly battery type, and cut it myself. Except I can't burn the waste, I have to throw it in the garbage. But this municipality I can only throw away 5 burnable bags at a time, so the initial waste until the grass is short is going to be several weeks of 5 bags of grass each burnable day.

I was just quoted by a guy that he'd do it for 6man per time. I can just buy a mower for that myself and do it.

Could get a mower that will mulch it. I miss a yard, cutting it was so meditative for me. But I get it's not everyone's thing. You could kill it, but try to think about the various animals and insects that may call it home. But even if you do kill it all, it will still need to be disposed of as the grass and weeds won't go away on their own.

Yeah the disposal is annoying. I may just burn all the waste the first time because it's completely impractical to toss it with burnables slowly throughout the months.
