How to Get Rid of a Hot Tub:

A Complete Guide for Homeowners


Thinking about getting rid of an old or broken hot tub? Whether it’s cracked, outdated, or just taking up space in your backyard, removing a hot tub is no small task. At
Clifford’s Junk Removal, we’ve helped countless homeowners in Sacramento, Roseville, and surrounding areas with fast, affordable, and eco-friendly hot tub removal services. Here’s everything you need to know before saying goodbye to that bulky spa.


Why Hot Tub Removal Is a Job for the Pros

Hot tubs are large, heavy, and often wired into your home’s electrical system or plumbing. Without the right tools and experience, removing one can quickly become a safety hazard. That’s why professional junk removal is often the easiest, fastest, and safest option.


At Clifford’s Junk Removal, we handle:


  • Disconnection and removal
  • Cutting and hauling large hot tubs
  • Deck spa and in-ground unit extraction
  • Responsible disposal and recycling

Step-by-Step: How to Remove a Hot Tub


If you’re exploring DIY options, here’s what the process typically involves:


1. Turn Off the Power

Always disconnect your hot tub from its power source at the breaker box. Safety first!


2. Drain the Water

Use the built-in drain or a submersible pump to empty the tub completely. Don’t forget to check for leftover water in the pipes.


3. Disassemble Panels and Parts

Remove access panels, pumps, and electrical components carefully. Keep in mind, some parts may be recyclable.


4. Cut the Tub Into Sections

Most hot tubs are made of fiberglass or acrylic shells reinforced with wood or metal. Cutting them into smaller pieces makes hauling easier—but it’s messy, dusty, and requires power tools.


5. Haul It Away


You’ll need a large truck, trailer, and lots of muscle. This is where Clifford’s Junk Removal saves the day.


Eco-Friendly Disposal of Hot Tubs

Not all junk should go to the landfill. We pride ourselves on eco-friendly hot tub disposal. Whenever possible, we:

  • Recycle metal and plastic components
  • Donate usable parts
  • Dispose of waste responsibly to prevent illegal dumping in the Sacramento region
