Why LoadUp

Built for the jobs most services won't touch

A hot tub isn't a curbside pickup job. Your Loaders bring the equipment, the muscle, and the know-how to get it out of your backyard and gone for good.

  • Price locked before you commit

    See your exact price before you book. No surprise fees after your Loaders show up, no charges added for heavy or oversized items.

  • Same-day availability

    Same-day pickup is available when you book before noon. No waiting weeks for a city bulk pickup that may never come.

  • In-home, not just curbside

    Your Loaders work from wherever the hot tub sits, whether that's a fenced backyard, an elevated deck, or a tight patio corner.

  • Donation & recycling first

    Hot tub shells, metal frames, and motor components may be recycled where local options allow, keeping usable materials out of the landfill when possible.

What to Expect

Full-service removal breakdown

Hot Tub disposal service details

Hot tub removal pricing is based on the size and configuration of the unit, how many pieces it needs to be broken into for removal, and the access conditions on your property. A tub on an open patio is straightforward; one behind a narrow gate or on an elevated deck may require additional on-site disassembly, which is factored into your upfront price before you book.

Please drain the hot tub of all water before your pickup appointment, and make sure any electrical, gas, or plumbing connections are fully disconnected by a licensed professional ahead of time. Your Loaders handle the lifting, breaking down, and hauling, but they do not perform electrical, gas, or plumbing disconnection work.

Hot tub removal starts at $875. Final price depends on the tub's size, whether it can come out whole or needs to be cut apart on-site, and how difficult the access is, including stairs, fencing, or deck height. You'll see your upfront price before confirming anything.

Yes. Your hot tub needs to be fully drained before your Loaders arrive. A full tub can weigh several thousand pounds once the water's factored in, so draining isn't optional. Do this at least a day ahead to make sure it's completely empty.

Not in the way you'd disassemble furniture. A hot tub shell is a single molded piece with no seams to take apart. If it won't fit through a gate or off a deck whole, your Loaders will cut it into sections on-site instead. That's demolition, not disassembly, and it's factored into your price if your access details suggest it'll be needed.

No. If your hot tub is hardwired to a 240-volt circuit, which most full-size models are, that needs to be disconnected by a licensed electrician before your appointment, not just switched off at the breaker. If you have a plug-and-play 120-volt portable model, unplugging it is enough. Either way, this needs to be done before your Loaders arrive, or the job can't move forward that day.

Usually, yes, but it depends on the setup. A freestanding tub on a deck can typically be removed depending on the stairs, railings, and exit route. If your gate is narrower than the tub, which is common since standard gates run 32 to 36 inches, your Loaders may need to cut the tub apart on-site or ask about removing a fence panel. A tub built into the deck itself is a different job and may need some structural work first, so it helps to describe your setup when booking.

A hot tub isn't one material; it's a mix of metal, fiberglass or acrylic, foam, and wiring. Metal components like the frame, pump, and wiring are recycled where local options allow. The fiberglass or acrylic shell and foam insulation are harder to recycle, and many facilities don't accept them, so those usually go to an approved waste facility depending on what's available in your area.

If it still works, yes, that's often worth trying first. Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and local community groups are common places to list one. The catch is that whoever takes it needs a way to move several hundred pounds themselves, which is why plenty of interested people never actually follow through. A tub that leaks or hasn't run in years is much harder to give away, and removal usually becomes the more realistic option at that point.

Disconnecting a hardwired 240-volt hot tub typically costs $200 to $500 through a licensed electrician. That's a separate appointment and cost from your removal booking, and it needs to happen first since a hardwired tub can't be removed while still connected.

It comes down to size and access. Most hot tubs are wider than a standard gate opening, which typically runs 32 to 36 inches, and the shell itself is one solid molded piece with nowhere to fold or collapse. When there's no way to route it out whole, cutting it into smaller sections with a reciprocating saw is the only practical option left.
