Hot tubs don’t last forever and eventually you’ll want to purchase a new, improved tub or spa. And, while this is a great idea, you still have the old one to get rid of. And that is not an easy task, especially as a DIY project. They are far too big to simply pick up and carry off to the dump. And you can’t drag it out to the curb for the garbage truck to take away for you!

There are more than 7.3 million hot tubs in operation in the U.S., according to a study conducted by Pool and Spa Marketing. And, since the “shelf life” of an average hot tub is about 10 years, there’s a large batch of old ones that are destined to be gotten rid of soon.

That means a massive number of old hot tubs are being disposed of across the country. Which is why hot tub removal is a task that should be handled professionally.

So, your old hot tub has finally bubbled it’s last. Or perhaps you have decided to get a brand new replacement. The question now is how do you remove and dispose of the old hot tub? It is probably quickly apparent that hot tub removal is a project, not a task!

It should be fairly obvious that a hot tub or spa is far too big to leave on your curb next to your household garbage. Besides, your residential waste management pick up service is not going to take it anyway. So what do you do with your old hot tub, spa or jacuzzi now that you’ve bought a new one?

Usually, the best thing to do is to simply have large junk items like hot tubs professionally removed, hauled away and properly disposed of.

Hot tub removal services are a reasonable choice considering that many places in the U.S. have enacted Zero Waste initiatives and Landfill Diversion goals designed to increase local recycling efforts and reduce overall waste and landfill use. In other words, even if you could manage to get the thing out of your backyard, into a truck and off to a landfill it probably wouldn’t be accepted there.

There are other good reasons for professional hot tub removal, as well. Keep in mind that you will have to carry your hot tub out of your yard and then you still need to figure out what to do with it. Since most cities don’t allow large appliance items to be left on the curb you may only have the option of a special appliance pick up service on a limited schedule. And you still have to do all the heavy lifting!

Here are a number of other options that can even provide a new home for your old appliance:

A hot tub or spa can certainly be sold if it’s clean and in good working condition. But, while you might make some money from it, it’s still going to be a major project to get your hot tub out of your yard and into someone else's. There are, however, a number of online sites and apps to help you get that trusty old spa on the market.

Is your old hot tub or jacuzzi still nice enough for someone else to use? If so, you can always offer it to a friend, a neighbor or a local charity that could make use of it at a facility of some kind. Reuse is always a better option than disposal. In addition, you'll be making someone else happy and relaxed!

While scrap metal buyers can be a good option for some of the fittings and motor parts, there is little else aside from the cover that can be sold as scrap. However, the tub itself can be reused as a fish pond or even a kid’s wading pool. With a little work and a little imagination your old tub can repurposed for an extended life.

If you simply need to get rid of your old hot tub or spa and don’t want it to end up in the waste stream, recycling its components is a great option. And the easiest way to do this is to have a professional junk hauling firm pick it up and take care of it for you.

At Junk King, being eco-friendly is a major priority with us. We’re the greenest large junk removal service, and we work to keep it that way! We recycle or donate most appliances we take, including hot tubs, by using our own recycling facilities or other local drop-off centers.

For hot tubs and other large junk appliance items, we will disassemble the units or take the equipment to an industrial recycling processor for safe, clean, energy-efficient repurposing. Junk King's recycling process will keep your old hot tubs from ending up in a landfill or junk yard.

Once the appliance is dismantled, the reusable parts can be recovered. Recycling your hot tub, spa or Jacuzzi helps keep substantial amounts of metal, plastic, and fiberglass out of landfills while reducing the need for extracting or producing raw materials.

Junk King can usually handle the removal and recycling of any and all appliances. In fact, Junk King can haul away more appliance items than anyone else and our junk removal contractors use various methods to dispose of appliance items.

We recommend you drain all water and disconnect any hoses which may connect to your hot tub. Do you know how to drain the water from your hot tub? The first thing you must do is attach a garden hose to the hot tub’s bottom drain spout and check that it is connected firmly. Open the spigot and allow the tub to drain.

Junk King recommends you disconnect your hot tub before we arrive. The first thing you should do is turn off the heater on the side of the hot tub, and switch it off at the main supply. If you are not sure, contact your local plumber. Second, locate the circuit breaker for the hot tub and turn it off. If your hot tub has electric air blowers, turn the circuit breaker back on and replace the spa cover. The next thing is to turn on the blower and let it run for a minute. If the water won’t drain through the spigot, use a shop vacuum to clean up the leftover water.
