Hot tub removal in Stoneham, MA

Why the town does not handle it

An empty acrylic hot tub weighs several hundred pounds, and a cedar-sided one can weigh more. Stoneham's curbside bulk limit is a single item under 50 lbs, so a hot tub is out of range. The Stevens Street Recycling Center accepts only passenger cars, pickup trucks and small utility trailers, and its list does not name hot tubs. A dumpster is another option, but the town needs a $40 Board of Health permit and a permitted contractor to take the contents away.

Because the tub has to be cut up either way, most owners hire it out.

What we do on site

We cut the shell, frame and cabinet into pieces we can carry, then load the trailer. The flat price is $629 and includes cutting and hauling. Before we arrive, shut the breaker, have the electrician disconnect the wiring, and drain the water to your yard away from a neighbor's property. A full tub is thousands of pounds of water and cannot be moved.

In Stoneham, backyards are often reached by a side yard or a narrow gate, so send a photo of the access path. The slab or deck removal is a separate job priced by the load.

Reuse and scrap value

A working tub less than ten years old sometimes sells on local marketplaces for pickup. If it is dead, the metal frame and pump can go to a scrap yard, but you will need a truck and the right tools. Stoneham's transfer center takes scrap metal at $10 per item for residents, but only small pieces that fit a pickup. For the full tub, flat-price removal is the practical route. Send two photos, one of the tub and one of the path out of the yard, and we answer with the exact price and the first open day. If the tub sits inside a deck frame, tell us, since a railing may need to come off so the pieces fit through.

Prepare your Stoneham hot tub for removal

  1. Turn off the breaker

    Have a licensed electrician disconnect the line at the tub.

  2. Drain it

    Use a pump and send the water onto your own yard, away from the street and neighbors.

  3. Clear the path

    Open the gate, move the grill and trim branches along the route to the driveway.

  4. Text a photo

    We confirm the $629 price and set a day.
