Understanding The Challenges
There are several reasons why getting a hot tub out of your yard can be tricky. They are heavy and bulky and may need specialised equipment to dismantle, move and dispose of them.
This is where Absolute Rubbish Removals comes in. We have the skills, experience and equipment to handle this type of job safely and quickly.

The Removal Process
For a smooth hot tub removal, the following tasks will need to be completed:
- Disconnect the electrical supply: Make sure that the electrical connections have been safely disconnected.
- Drain the water: Once the power is off, the tub can be safely drained. This will be done via the drainage valve, usually located on the side of the hot tub.
- Remove skirting and panels: The outside panels of the spa will now be removed to gain access to the inner tub. These are usually attached with screws or nails, so they can be removed with a screwdriver or a crowbar.
- Detach the plumbing connections: Ensure that the water supply to the hot tub has been turned off. Then, pipes and taps, including the supply line and the drain line, can be removed.
- Remove the tub: The hot tub can be removed whole if suitable lifting equipment is available. An intact tub can be reused or repurposed to avoid unnecessary additions to the landfill. Alternatively, the tub will be cut into pieces for easier removal.
- Yard clean-up: All items must be cleared away, leaving your yard neat and tidy.
- Disposal: Absolute Rubbish Removals will ensure that all the components are disposed of according to local regulations. With our extensive recycling knowledge, we will ensure that whatever can be recycled or reused is sorted correctly.
