Before the hot tub goes
Do

- Have the power disconnected by a qualified electrician
- Take photos of it and the way out to the road
- Keep the cover and any steps to hand so they go in the same trip
Don't
- Try to lift it with just one or two people
- Leave it to fill with water again while you decide
- Pay anyone cash without a price agreed first

Check the council route first
If you would rather go through the council, look at the bulky waste page for your area: Reading, Wokingham or South Oxfordshire. Ask them directly whether a hot tub is something they take.
If you are going to the tip, see Reading tips, Wokingham tips or Oxfordshire tips for booking and what they take.
Hot tub disposal questions
Do I need to empty it before you come?
Yes. Drain it and have the power disconnected first. It is safer for everyone and much easier to move.
Can you take the cover and other bits too?
Yes. We do the whole job in one visit with no limit on items, so the cover, steps and anything else can go in the same trip.
What if it is hard to get to?
Send photos that show where it sits and the way out. We price the job from your photos before we start.
Can I sell it instead?
You can. Advertise it locally and be honest about its condition. If it does not sell, send us your photos and we will price it up front.
