SAME-DAY SLOTS AVAILABLE
In St. Matthews, hot tub removal is an access job. The housing stock is 1950s through 70s brick ranches and colonials on established lots — fenced rear yard, one narrow side yard, no alley, and mature landscaping that has grown in around whatever the tub sits on.
The gate is almost always narrower than the shell. A dry tub runs 400 to 900 pounds and does not turn corners, so the realistic answer is cutting it down where it stands and carrying it out in sections.

Blake and Brennin work St. Matthews constantly, and the crew arrives set up for this: saws, pads for the gate posts, and a plan for the carry route before anything is cut.

Spas and Tubs We Remove
How It Works
Gate width, side-yard width, and whether there is a deck or surround built around the tub. On these lots that is the whole job, and Blake and Brennin ask it on the first call.
A licensed electrician disconnects the tub from its circuit before the crew touches it. We do not cut a live spa. If that has not been done yet, say so and we will schedule around it.
The shell gets sectioned in place, small enough to clear the gate and the side yard. Gate posts and fence boards get padded first. Landscaping gets worked around, not through.
The number comes after the crew has seen the gate, the yard, and the surround — not over the phone. You approve it, then work starts. Cash, cards, debit, checks, or Cash App. Seniors and veterans get 10% off.
The Haulaway Junk Removal Difference
The shell is wider than the gate on nearly every St. Matthews lot. Cutting it down in place is not a fallback here — it is the standard approach, and the crew comes equipped for it.
A licensed electrician disconnects the power before the crew starts. That is not a step we skip or improvise, and it is the one thing that has to happen before we can schedule the cut.
Established beds, shrubs, and trees have grown in around most of these tubs. The crew plans the carry route around the planting rather than trampling a path to the truck.
No franchise, no call center, no subcontractors. You get the owners, and Blake and Brennin stay directly involved in every job.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does hot tub removal cost in St. Matthews?
It comes down to the size of the shell, how tight the access is, and whether a deck or surround has to come apart first. A tub on an open patio is a smaller job than one boxed into a deck behind a narrow gate. The estimate is free and confirmed on site. See our full pricing guide at /pricing/ for exact figures, or call (502) 340-7359.
My gate is narrower than the tub. Is that a problem?
No, it is the normal situation out here. The shell gets cut down where it sits into sections that clear the gate and the side yard. The fence stays up and the gate posts get padded before anything moves.
Do I need an electrician first?
Yes. A licensed electrician has to disconnect the tub from its circuit before we cut it. We will not work on a live spa. If it is still wired in when you call, tell us and we will schedule around the electrician's visit.
The tub is built into a deck. Can you still take it?
Yes. The crew opens up the surround, sections the shell, and hauls the framing too if you want it gone. Mention the deck on the call so it is in the estimate rather than a surprise on site.
Will you tear up my yard getting it out?
That is the thing the crew plans hardest around. Established St. Matthews lots have mature beds and shrubs, so the carry route gets chosen before the first cut, and pieces come out small enough to hand-carry rather than drag.
TESTIMONIALS
FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
"Brennin and team were the absolute best. We had a hot tub and several other large items that needed to be hauled away. Brennin responded almost immediately and gave me a very reasonable quote, same day. Their crew was prompt, courteous and left no mess at all. I've hired a lot of home related companies in the Louisville area and put them at the top of the list for value, quality and customer service."
"Brice and Zach were great. The whole team was fast, and priced fairly. They squeezed me in at the last second. I would recommend them and use them again!"
"I called with what was essentially an emergency junk removal and needed everything gone the same day since it was my only day off work. Brennin was fantastic from start to finish. The service was prompt, professional, and reasonably priced. If you're looking for reliable junk removal with outstanding customer service, I highly recommend Haulaway Junk Removal!"
Why St. Matthews hot tub removal is an access job
St. Matthews is established housing — brick ranches and colonials built roughly between the 1950s and the 1970s, on lots that have had seventy years to fill in. There is no alley. There is a fenced rear yard, one side yard that is usually narrow, and landscaping that has matured around whatever is back there.
The hot tub went in years ago, often before the fence, sometimes before the deck. Getting it back out is a different problem than putting it in was.
Why the tub comes out in pieces
A dry acrylic shell weighs somewhere between 400 and 900 pounds depending on size, and it is rigid. It does not flex through a gate opening, it does not pivot in a four-foot side yard, and tipping it on edge does not help when the fence line is fixed.
So it gets cut down where it stands. The crew sections the shell into pieces small enough to hand-carry to the truck, pads the gate posts, and works around the beds rather than through them. The fence stays up and the planting stays planted.
Power comes off before anything else
Every tub out here is hard-wired to a dedicated circuit. A licensed electrician disconnects it before the crew starts — that is a hard rule, not a preference. If that has not happened yet when you call, say so and we will schedule the removal around it rather than showing up to a live spa.
What drives the price here
