Hot Tub Removal in San Luis Obispo County

That old spa isn’t getting used, but it’s still taking up the whole patio. We take it apart if we need to, haul it away, and recycle the metal.

Before and after: an old hot tub removed from a backyard patio by Green Guys

Most hot tubs we remove are old ones that stopped working, or came with a house the new owners just bought. Some are moving out to make room for a new one.

Every hot tub is a puzzle. One was on a deck, and the only way out was through the house. Another had a family of possums living under the cover. We got them all out.

When a spa is too big for the gate, we cut it into pieces so we can carry it out without wrecking your fence or yard.

What we haul on a hot tub job

What we can't take

We can’t take liquid paint, liquid chemicals, fuel, motor oil, propane tanks, medical waste or other hazardous waste.

How much does hot tub removal cost?

Hot tubs are priced by size and how hard it is to get it out. A small spa near the driveway costs less than a big one on a back deck. Your price covers the labor, cutting, hauling, disposal and sweep-up. We tell you the price before we start.

What can change the price:

Where your stuff goes

Hot tubs are mostly plastic, wood and metal. We pull out the metal parts, like the frame, pumps and heater, and take them to SA Recycling.

The shell and wood that can’t be recycled go to the landfill. Covers, steps and patio furniture that are still good go to local thrift stores when we can.

Turn it off at the breaker. If it’s hard-wired, an electrician should disconnect it before we come.

If it won’t fit through the gate or doorway, yes. We cut it into pieces and carry them out.
