How do I dispose of a hot tub?

Doubtful it can be recycled. In most Civilized Places, Mainly due to the Disease Precautions it is sort of as giving away Underwear: It matters not if you personally are diseased or not the Collection Agency avoids liability.

You can check. I doubt you will find. The Plumbing and Electrical are Reusable though and I would definitely save them.

So basically what most do is take a Sledgehammer to the Edge or Frame Corners. That will weaken the Exterior Structure and make that exterior ideally 4 pieces that are much more lightweight and easy to remove.

Far as the Tub section, due Global Warming and especially if you abide a flood plain, that you may want to Keep for Use in a Garden Excavation Plan as a bit like a Sewer or Underground water collection system where Water can go rather than flood your patio or deck. It Takes very little sand and concrete at the Base of it upside down to make that a Functional Flood Prevention Measure in your Garden.

Beyond that 'Hidden Cistern' use, there are no other public uses really, beyond grinding it up as Aggregate or landfill.

Any uses beyond Cistern are likely to reduce Home Equity.

Check to see where a Habitat ReStore is. They take donations of home furnishing things like that. Their proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity (one of my favorite non - profits, founded by former president James Earl "Jimmy" Carter).

I think they will even pick up your donation. Please check them out before you cut up anything.

After looking for some time, this is the only video I could find on the subject. I hope it's what you need, Diana.

Thank you for your input. We originally wanted to move it to our porch but after a chat with an installer and a neighbor who saw the the house being built around it, we found to remove it intact would be cost prohibitive. Therefore, it must be destroyed. I didn’t think of a sledgehammer though. That’s a great idea! We live in rural NC and have to take it to a local dump. There are regulations on what can be dumped there. Electronics must be separated, etc. I may be able to used some plumbing elements in my garden.

I donate ate and shop at Habitat stores. They’re awesome! Thank you.

Thanks to all who replied! 😀

Chainsaw would work best seriously
