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 Whether it’s cracked, outdated, or just taking up space in your backyard, removing a hot tub is no small task.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
