Why bulk pickup won't take it
City bulk trash pickup in Palm Beach and Broward does not take whole hot tubs. Your realistic options are selling it if it still works, cutting it up yourself and hauling the pieces, or hiring a crew to disconnect, cut down and haul it in one visit.
A typical spa weighs 500–900 lbs empty and is wider than most side gates, which is why it usually has to be cut into sections on site.
Before removal day
A few things make the job faster and cheaper:
- Drain it completely 1–2 days ahead.
- Have an electrician shut off and cap the dedicated circuit at the breaker.
- Measure the path from the tub to the street — gates, steps, pool screens.
- Tell the crew if it sits on a deck, pavers, or a raised slab.

Common questions
Can I put a hot tub out for bulk trash?
No. Whole spas exceed bulk-pickup size and weight limits in both counties.
Do I need to disconnect the power first?
Yes — the dedicated circuit should be shut off and capped by a licensed electrician before anyone cuts the tub.
