The upper part i already dumped, but the big plastic container with a small hole on the top i don't know what to do, someone told me i need a flexible tube to put in and suck the water out but its on the floor, so i guess it will not work properly because there needs to be a different hight to work she told me. What are you recommending? Edit: I throw it away i just want to get rid of it but i live in a flat.
I throw it definitely away, but it's risky i live in a flat and there are neighbors below me. But i also wondered maybe i just pierce it somehow and let it flow in some other containers...
Pull it into your tub then puncture it and let it drain. Edited to add: or flip it over into the tub and you won't have to puncture it at all.

Puncture it at the top let a little drain away. Puncture again 2cm lower and again control the water discharge. Keep doing this.
What about a siphon? A garden hose and a suck start is all you need.
The hole is at the top. The end of your drain hose will be at the bottom (in the bathtub) so draining with a hose should work for most of it.
The siphon (using a tube and priming it by sucking water into it) will work so long as the end in the container is higher than the other end, so you can use it to mostly empty it into smaller containers on the ground next to it, until it is light enough to carry to a drain.
Keep talking....
Put one end of the garden hose in the container and get it down to the bottom of the water.snake the other end out a door or window. Lower the outside end till it would be lower than the other end that's in the tank. Then lift up the outside end and suck till the water is almost to you and then drop your end back down to the lower level. I'm sure there's a Google.
take the filter out of a shop vac and suck it out. shop vacs are by designed meant to be used with water.
You can siphon it, or most of it. The hose has to be just a little higher at the starting end. Do you have a window or balcony you can hang the other end out of? If so, you can siphon the whole thing by hanging the end out lower than the starting end.
Edit: If you don't have a window or balcony you can use, see if you can raise the punching bag stand just a little by wedging things under it. That will allow you to siphon more out.
Get a Siphon hose with pump don't suck on a siphon hose you don't know how nasty that water is. as long as the container it is going into is lower then the water should drain.
If you do it correctly you won't ingest any water
No! If you aren't sucking til you get a bit of nasty shit in your mouth you're not siphoning properly!!
Why risk it if you have never done it before

Are you throwing it away? If so, just roll it outside and jab a hole in it and wait for it to drain if you aren’t throwing it away can’t you still just knock it over and then the whole on top will now be on the bottom and it can dream?
