How to fill in a pond

We’ve inherited a small pond we don’t really want, and I’m not sure if it’s just a case of chucking soil in or do I have to handle it in a special way? Don't want to waste money on getting it properly removed.

"The best way to do this would be to take the pond liner out, if the pond is concrete based the best solution would be to break the concrete up and put it in where the pond was, all depending how deep the pond is you could put stone in the bottom and then topsoil on top"
