Hot Tub Removal Tempe AZ
Portable spas and hot tubs taken out of Tempe 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 Tempe every day: apartments and rentals around ASU and downtown with elevators, stairs and tight parking, the older neighborhoods like Maple-Ash and Mitchell Park where alley access matters, and the family homes in Warner Ranch, The Lakes and south Tempe.
Tempe hot tub removal covers Downtown Tempe and ASU, Maple-Ash, Mitchell Park, Kiwanis Park, Warner Ranch, The Lakes and South Tempe, plus the rest of Tempe. 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.

- Covers, cover lifters, steps and loose pumps or heaters
- 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
What we cannot take, and what we assess first
The short version for Tempe; 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
- Water still in the tub — drain it if you can; if not, say so and we plan for it
- Long or narrow routes to the street: a photo of the gate and the path helps
- 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
What hot tub removal costs in Tempe
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 it is recessed in a deck or surrounded by hardscape
- Water still in the unit, or equipment still connected
- Whether the tub can leave whole or has to be cut down
- Gate width, steps, retaining walls and the carry distance to the trailer
Worth knowing before you call anyone: Tempe's bulk collection for residential customers is every other month, up to 10 cubic yards out by 6 a.m. Monday of your week, and does not take freon appliances, tires, glass, dirt, rock, concrete or construction debris (tempe.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 Tempe
- 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 Tempe: the every-other-month bulk pickup or Haulo?
No bulk program in the six cities collects a hot tub in one piece; Tempe’s refused list also covers appliances with freon, tires, glass, mirrors, hazardous chemicals, car parts, dirt, rock, concrete and construction debris. 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 at the curb) never comes into it.
Haulo is in Tempe every day, with same-day service for texts before 7 p.m., apartments and rentals around ASU and downtown with elevators, stairs and tight parking, the older neighborhoods like Maple-Ash and Mitchell Park where alley access matters, and the family homes in Warner Ranch included, with no waiting for up to two months.
Tempe pile limit

Hot Tub Removal questions from Tempe
Do you take the cover, steps and the old heater?
Yes, all of it goes on the same load.
What about the concrete pad or the deck it sits on?
Removing the pad is concrete work and removing the deck is light demolition; both are separate services we can quote alongside the tub.
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.
I rent in Tempe. Does the city bulk pickup cover me?
Only if your building is on residential city collection, and it runs every other month. Most apartment turnovers cannot wait for that and the pile is upstairs anyway. Text photos, tell us the floor and whether there is an elevator, and we schedule around the building.
Can I use Tempe bulk trash instead of Haulo for hot tub removal?
Yes, when it fits the rules: every other month; out by 6 a.m. Monday of your week, up to 10 cubic yards at the curb, and nothing on the refused list (appliances with freon, tires, glass, mirrors, hazardous chemicals, car parts, dirt, rock, concrete and construction debris). If it can wait for up to two months 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 at the curb, refused materials, or a date that cannot wait for up to two months.
What does Tempe bulk trash refuse that Haulo will take?
Tempe refuses appliances with freon, tires, glass, mirrors, hazardous chemicals, car parts, dirt, rock, concrete and construction debris. Of those, Haulo takes freon appliances, dirt, rock, concrete and construction debris, along with hot tubs, whole or cut down and oversized single items. Tires and hazardous chemicals stay off our trailer as well; the what-we-cannot-take guide lists the drop-off programs.
