Council and tips
Tameside's bulky page does not mention hot tubs either way. Items must be outside in one easy-to-reach place, and the council lists fluid containers such as drums among things it will not take. Ask before booking: Tameside's bulky collection team is on 0161 342 8355. The Recycle for Greater Manchester recycling guide does not mention hot tubs, so check with Ash Road in Droylsden or Bayley Street in Stalybridge before taking pieces there.

- Drain it completely a day or two ahead
- Have an electrician disconnect a hard-wired tub and make the supply safe
- Measure gates and paths to the road
- Clear space for a van to park
An inflatable tub is easier: deflate it and the liner, pump and cover will often fit in a car.
Picking a company
Check the price covers cutting it up, carrying it out and disposal, and ask to see their waste carrier registration. Photos of the tub and the route out help get a fixed price.
