Hot Tub Removal Phoenix AZ
Portable spas and hot tubs taken out of Phoenix backyards whole when the gate allows, cut down when it does not, carried out and hauled away with the panels, plumbing and cover. Price confirmed from photos before we cut anything.
A hot tub that no longer runs is 600 pounds of shell and plumbing on your patio, and it will not fit through the side gate in one piece. Haulo brings the tools and the crew: we break the tub down to pieces that will pass the gate, carry them out and load them. The pad is left bare and swept.
Same-day service runs across Phoenix every day: Ahwatukee and Arcadia are closest to home, then Biltmore, Midtown, North Central and up to Desert Ridge. Alley access is common in the older neighborhoods, so tell us where a trailer can actually park.
Phoenix hot tub removal covers Ahwatukee, Arcadia, Biltmore, Downtown Phoenix, Midtown, North Central, Paradise Valley Village and Desert Ridge, plus the rest of Phoenix. Not sure about your street? Text the address and we confirm.
What this service handles
Freestanding and portable spas, plus the panels, cover, steps and loose equipment that go with them.
- Removal from patios, decks, pool decks and side yards
- Cut-down when the unit cannot pass a gate whole
- Trailer haul-away and pad sweep
- Acrylic and rotomolded portable spas
- Wood-panel and cabinet-style hot tubs
- Swim spas and large multi-seat units
What we cannot take, and what we assess first
The short version for Phoenix; the full policy is on the regional hot tub removal page.
We cannot take
- Live electrical — the spa circuit must be switched off and the unit disconnected before we arrive
- Pool chemicals and chlorine left with the unit
- In-ground or gunite spas — that is concrete demolition, not hot tub removal
We assess first
- Paint — we can usually take it, but send a photo of the cans first
- Units built into a deck, recessed or surrounded by permanent material — we need photos of how it sits
- Gas-heated units and hardwired equipment — tell us the disconnection status
- Water still in the tub — drain it if you can; if not, say so and we plan for it
What hot tub removal costs in Phoenix
Haulo prices from your photos and confirms the price before anything is loaded. Typical range: $350–$500 for cut-down, haul and disposal, depending on size and access. Have a budget? Say so — we would rather work with it than lose the job. What moves the number:
Prices checked 11 Sep 2026.
- Whether the tub can leave whole or has to be cut down
- Gate width, steps, retaining walls and the carry distance to the trailer
- Unit size — a swim spa is a different job from a four-seater
- Whether it is recessed in a deck or surrounded by hardscape
Worth knowing before you call anyone: Phoenix gives residential customers four bulk trash pickups a year, by appointment, one pile up to 10 cubic yards within 5 feet of the curb, and does not take hazardous waste, tires, appliances with refrigerant, construction material or concrete (phoenix.gov, checked 8 Sep 2026). Haulo is a private hauler, not the city program; the trade-off is cost against timing, access and what is accepted. More typical ranges are on the pricing page.
How hot tub removal works in Phoenix
- 01
Send photos and access details
Text photos of the spa from a couple of sides, the equipment panel, and the route to the street. Say whether the power is disconnected and the water drained.
- 02
We confirm the scope, the price and an arrival window
We reply with a price and a window, and tell you whether it will come out whole or in pieces.
- 03
The crew removes the agreed items and cleans up
The crew breaks the unit down as agreed, carries it out, loads it and sweeps the pad.
What happens to the items
The shell, cabinet and plumbing go to a licensed disposal facility; metal frames, heaters and pumps are separated for recovery where a facility accepts them. A working spa in good condition is sometimes worth listing before you call us — we will say so if the photos suggest it.

Local details
Hot tub removal in Phoenix: the four-a-year bulk appointments or Haulo?
No bulk program in the six cities collects a hot tub in one piece; Phoenix’s refused list also covers household hazardous waste, tires, glass, appliances with refrigerant, construction material, concrete and trunks over 4 feet. Haulo takes spas out whole when the gate allows and cuts them down when it does not, then hauls the shell, panels, plumbing and cover, and the city pile limit (up to 10 cubic yards within 5 ft of the curb) never comes into it.
Haulo is in Phoenix every day, with same-day service for texts before 7 p.m., Ahwatukee and Arcadia are closest to home, then Biltmore, Midtown, North Central and up to Desert Ridge included, with no waiting for the next appointment, which can be weeks out.
Phoenix pile limit
Up to 10 cubic yards within 5 ft of the curb.
Phoenix timing
Four appointments a year; out by 5:30 a.m. on the date.

Household hazardous waste, tires, glass, appliances with refrigerant, construction material, concrete and trunks over 4 feet.

Hot Tub Removal questions from Phoenix
Do I need to drain it first?
It helps, and it keeps the price down. If you cannot, tell us how much water is in it and we plan for it.
Who disconnects the power?
The spa breaker should be switched off and the unit disconnected before we arrive, by you or an electrician. We do not work on live electrical.
Will it fit through my side gate?
Most will not in one piece. We cut the tub down on the patio into sections that pass the gate, then carry them out. A photo of the gate with something for scale tells us in advance.
Do you take the cover, steps and the old heater?
Yes, all of it goes on the same load.
Phoenix bulk trash is by appointment now. Is that easier than calling you?
For a curbside pile of ordinary items, possibly, if one of your four yearly appointments is available soon. Haulo makes sense when the items are inside, when they include a fridge, remodel debris or concrete, or when the next appointment is weeks out.
Can I use Phoenix bulk trash instead of Haulo for hot tub removal?
Yes, when it fits the rules: four appointments a year; out by 5:30 a.m. on the date, up to 10 cubic yards within 5 ft of the curb, and nothing on the refused list (household hazardous waste, tires, glass, appliances with refrigerant, construction material, concrete and trunks over 4 feet). If it can wait for the next appointment, which can be weeks out and you can get it to the curb, the city is the cheaper choice and we will say so. Haulo is for what does not fit: items still inside, more than up to 10 cubic yards within 5 ft of the curb, refused materials, or a date that cannot wait for the next appointment, which can be weeks out.
What does Phoenix bulk trash refuse that Haulo will take?
Phoenix refuses household hazardous waste, tires, glass, appliances with refrigerant, construction material, concrete and trunks over 4 feet. Of those, Haulo takes refrigerant appliances, construction material, concrete and trunks over 4 feet, along with hot tubs, whole or cut down and oversized single items. Tires and household hazardous waste stay off our trailer too; the what-we-cannot-take guide lists where they go.
