A spa that has stopped heating, cracked a shell or simply gone unused can sit in a backyard for years. In Cupertino, many sit on decks or patios behind side gates in Monta Vista and Rancho Rinconada, and the way out is narrow.
We take on the physical removal: breaking the tub down if it will not fit through the gate, loading the pieces, and clearing the pad. Before we arrive the power must be disconnected by the owner or an electrician. Text (408) 310-0246 with a photo, and we will check the access and send a free quote.

Disconnect, drain and disposal
Electrical power must be disconnected by the owner or an electrician before we start. We do not do electrical work, and we ask you to switch off the breaker and cap the line. Drain the water to a landscaped area if you can, or tell us and we will plan for it.
Spa shells and frames are bulky and do not fit the 50 lb single-item limit of Recology’s Cupertino bulky pickup, so they are a job for our trailer. Metal and equipment go to recycling when we can, and the rest to a permitted facility.
Hot tub disposal Cupertino and spa removal Cupertino: where the tub goes
Hot tub disposal Cupertino backyards call for begins at the pad. A shell too wide for the side gate is cut into sections right there, so nothing is dragged whole through a Rancho Rinconada side yard or down a deck stair. Frames, heaters and pump housings are separated out for scrap metal where possible, and the acrylic, foam and wood that remain go to a permitted facility.
Spa removal Cupertino owners ask about covers more than one kind of tub. A portable spa, a built-in spa set into a deck or patio, and a longer swim spa can all come out. A swim spa is heavier and takes more cuts, so put its length, the gate width and the route to the street in your photos, and we size the crew to match.

Cupertino FAQ: Hot Tub Removal
Do I need to disconnect the hot tub myself?
The power must be disconnected by you or an electrician. We do not handle electrical work. Everything after that is ours.
Does the tub need to be empty?
Yes, drained if possible. If you cannot drain it, tell us in advance so we can bring a pump or plan around the water.
What if the spa will not fit through my gate?
We cut it into sections. Send a photo of the gate and path so we can check the access.
Can you remove the deck or concrete pad too?
We can haul a removed deck surround. Concrete pads and demolition are a different scope; see our demolition page.
Will you damage my lawn or fence?
We lay boards where we can and are careful with fences. Please point out sprinklers or anything fragile.
Is there a city pickup for hot tubs?
Recology’s bulky program has size and weight limits that a spa exceeds, so a hot tub is outside its limits.
