Hot Tub & Spa Removal
Junk Removal Service USA removes hot tubs, spas, and swim spas across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County. Once a licensed electrician has disconnected the power, we cut the shell, pull the frame and pump, and haul everything away in one trip. Hot tub removal in South Florida typically costs $150 to $800, with most jobs around $400.

What We Don't Do — and Who Does
Florida law (Fla. Stat. § 489.105) reserves demolition of any building or residence for licensed contractors. We stay on the non-building side of that line and refer the rest. How the line works →
- ⚠Disconnecting a hard-wired spa — a licensed electrician must disconnect and cap the circuit before we arrive
- ⚠In-ground spas and gunite spas attached to a pool — licensed pool contractor
- ⚠Draining chlorinated water to the street or a storm drain — drain to a sanitary cleanout or let it dechlorinate first
How Hot Tub Removal Works
- 1
Drain and disconnect
You drain it; a licensed electrician disconnects hard-wired units. Plug-in tubs just get unplugged.
- 2
Cut or carry
If it fits through the gate, we dolly it out whole. If not, we cut the acrylic shell and cabinet into sections on site.
- 3
Load
Shell sections, frame, pump, heater, and cover go in one load.
- 4
Recycle what we can
The pump motor and steel frame are recycled; acrylic and foam go to disposal.

- •Second-floor balconies and elevators
- •Whether the deck or surround comes out too

Removing a portable hot tub needs no permit. The electrical disconnect for a hard-wired spa is licensed trade work and may itself require an electrical permit, depending on your municipality — your electrician handles that. In-ground spas are pool structures and follow pool demolition rules.
Miami-Dade County
Portable spa removal is not a permitted act. Electrical disconnect work falls under the county's electrical permitting.
