A hot tub is not like other bulky waste. It is big, it is heavy, and it often sits in a tight garden spot. Here are the realistic ways to deal with it, so you can pick the one that suits you.

Take it to the tip
Move it yourself and drop it off at a Hampshire tip.
- You choose when to go
- You need a vehicle big enough and people to lift it
- Check what your tip will take before you set off

Sell it or give it away
Advertise it locally to someone who wants it.
- Someone else gets the use of it

Think about the rest of the clear-out
If the hot tub is part of a bigger tidy-up, one visit can cover the lot. That might be old garden furniture, a broken shed, or general garden clearance.
If you are unsure what your local tip will accept, see Hampshire tips. For smaller items, your council may have a bulky waste collection to look at.
Hot tub questions
Do I need to empty the hot tub first?
Yes, drain it safely before anyone moves it. Water makes it far heavier and messier to shift. Keep the drained water away from neighbours and drains you should not use.
Can I put a hot tub in my council bin?
No. It is far too big. Look at a bulky waste booking, or have it collected by a registered waste carrier instead.
What photos do you need?
A few clear shots of the hot tub, plus the way out of the garden, such as gates and steps. That lets us price the job before we turn up.
Do you cover my area?
We cover Basingstoke, Oakley, Hook, Odiham, Tadley and Burghfield Common. Start the quote form and we will tell you if we can help.
