Getting rid of a hot tub: what it actually involves
By Junk Pros GTA1 min read
An old hot tub rarely fits out of a backyard whole. Here's why it gets cut down on site, what you prep, and what it costs.
A hot tub is built to sit in one place forever, so getting rid of one is more involved than most items. The shell is fibreglass and rarely fits through a side gate whole, which means it's drained, cut into sections on site, and hauled, starting at $549 with Junk Pros GTA.
Why it has to be cut up
Narrow side gates, mature landscaping, and a rigid shell mean cutting the tub down on site is almost always the only way out. It's quick and it protects your yard.
What to do first
Drain the tub completely and have the electrical disconnected by a qualified electrician before removal day.
What it costs
Standard hot tubs start at $549; swim spas and larger units are quoted from photos. If a surrounding deck is coming out too, we bundle it into one price.
