Who said you a) have to beam it up in one piece or b) have anyplace to put it? Point one or more transporters at it and beam the dispersed matter into deep space.| It would still have to be broken down into transportable pieces. Aside from the general lack of cargo holds capable of holding a whole Galaxy Class saucer, the saucer itself is to big for any transporter to beam up in one piece. |
I'm less fond of the orbital bombardment idea due to the "giant radioactive hole in the ground" problem it causes.

Tractor beams seem the most straight forward approach, after first removing all the hazardous materials and then cutting up the hull. I'm sure the Federation's old buddies the First Federation could just plain yank the entire wreck into orbit and frisbee it into the Sun if they wanted.|

Another possibility I thought was likely when the movie first came out was that the Federation would quickly quarantine the area (millions of tons of military hardware are lying at the end of a giant ditch) and then the star fleet corp of engineers would set up something like a temporary solar powered orbiting station with a space bridge that could easily transport the Enterprise in pieces into orbit, for salvage or destruction. Something like the equivalent of an orbiting oil drilling platform. Or, I suppose, something like Nero's ship in Abrams' Trek.

If you're going to muddy this scenario with a JJTrek-ism then maybe they could just redirect the "supernova that threatened to destroy the entire galaxy" in 2387 over towards the planet where this Enterprise crashed and just have it destroy the planet to wipe away the ship's presence there. That kind of nonsense would likely be right up Abrams' alley. *shrugs*
