A&J Hot Tub Removal & Disposal in Southern California
That old spa isn't going anywhere on its own. A dry 4-person hot tub weighs 600+ pounds and a swim spa can top 1,500 — too much for a dumpster rental and a couple of friends. A&J SPA PROS removes, hauls, and disposes of old hot tubs across the Inland Empire, Los Angeles, and Orange County at a flat rate quoted before we arrive. Licensed, insured, and usually done in under two hours.

We disconnect and lift
Our crew arrives with spa dollies and hydraulic gear — plus a licensed crane partner when a wall or deck blocks the path.

Hauled away and cleaned up
The spa, cover, and steps leave with us. Your patio is swept and ready for whatever comes next.
What Removal Costs — and What Changes the Price
Hot tub removal is priced flat-rate, not hourly, so you know the number before we load anything. Four things move that number: the size of the spa, how far it has to travel from the yard to the truck, whether a crane is required to clear a wall or deck, and whether the unit can leave whole or has to be cut down on site. A standard 4–6 person spa in a yard with gate access is the simplest and least expensive job we do. Swim spas, hillside lots, and second-story decks cost more because they take more equipment and more crew.
Text a photo of the spa and its access path to (909) 933-0705 and Joe will usually quote it the same day — no site visit needed for most removals. If you're comparing to a dumpster rental, factor in the demolition labor, the disposal fees, and the risk of cracking your patio or decking on the way out.
Where the Old Spa Actually Goes
Recycled
Steel frames, pumps, motors, and jets are separated out and sent to metal recycling rather than landfill.
Responsibly disposed
Shell material and non-recyclable components go to licensed disposal facilities — never dumped.
Re-homed when possible
Spas still in working condition are sometimes passed on instead of scrapped. We'll tell you if yours qualifies.
Removal vs. Relocation — Which Do You Actually Need?
If the spa still runs and you're moving house, a relocation is almost always the better value — we disconnect, transport, and reset it at the new address. If it leaks, the shell is cracked, the equipment is dead, or you simply want the patio back, removal is the cheaper and faster call. Not sure which side of that line you're on? Our step-by-step guide to moving a hot tub covers what makes a spa worth keeping, and Joe will give you a straight answer on the phone.

Hot Tub Removal Questions
Most standard removals are flat-rate and depend on spa size, access, and whether a crane is needed. A typical 4–6 person spa in an accessible backyard is a straightforward job; swim spas and crane lifts cost more. We quote the exact number before we show up — you never get a surprise bill on removal day.
