Hot Tub Removal in French Camp
French Camp is named for the Hudson's Bay Company trappers who camped here from about 1832 to 1845 — the end of their trail is state landmark No. 668. Today it is home to San Joaquin General Hospital and the county jail, and about 450 homes, mostly single-family.
California Historical Landmark No. 668 marks French Camp as the terminus of the trail used from about 1832 to 1845 by Hudson's Bay Company trappers.
San Joaquin General Hospital is at 500 W. Hospital Road, French Camp.
About 455 homes, mostly single-family. 25% built in the 2000s and 23% in the 1950s. Very wide margin on the median.
Whatever French Camp throws at us — hot tubs and spas of any size, swim spas, above-ground pools and surrounding decking if you want it gone — the job runs the same way. You send a photo or a short description, we send back a fixed number, and if you say yes we show up in a tight window and do the lifting. We bring the saws. Your fence does not have to come down.
There is no soft number on the phone that turns into a harder one once our crew is standing in front of your house. That trick is old and it is well known, and it is a big part of why people dread this call in the first place.
What we take
- Hot tubs and spas of any size
- Swim spas
- Above-ground pools
- Surrounding decking if you want it gone
- Pumps, heaters and equipment
What we can't
- In-ground pool demolition — that is an excavation job, we will refer you
Nobody legitimate takes household hazardous waste on a junk run — it has to go through a county HHW event. We separate it out, stack it where you can find it, and tell you the nearest drop-off date instead of quietly leaving it in a corner.

Where your French Camp junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a French Camp job goes to Lovelace MRF & Transfer Station in Manteca, at a posted gate rate of $78.78 per ton as of 2026-01-01. Lovelace MRF & Transfer Station is open seven days a week, which is why we can run French Camp jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
Hauling it yourself instead? Here are Lovelace MRF & Transfer Station hours and fees, plus what it turns away.
Before that, usable furniture and appliances go to donation, and metal, cardboard, e-waste and green waste get separated out. We keep the weight tickets on every load and we will hand them to you if you want to see them — that is not something most haulers offer and it is the fastest way to tell whether someone is actually disposing legally or dumping on a county road.
Why this matters to your price: gate rates across our service area range from $40.64 a ton at Foothill Sanitary Landfill to $107.76 at the most expensive transfer station in Lodi. Routing loads to the right gate is most of the difference between a hauler who can hold a price and one who surprises you at the end.

French Camp questions
How fast can you get to French Camp?
French Camp is about 28 minutes from our Lodi base, so it is inside our normal daily route rather than an out-of-area trip. That is the practical reason we can hold same-day and next-day slots here when a Sacramento-based company quoting the same job is adding an hour of windshield time each way.
Where does the debris from a French Camp job go?
Lovelace MRF & Transfer Station in Manteca, currently $78.78 per ton as of 2026-01-01. It is open seven days, which is why Sunday service is available in this area. Donation-quality items go to a receiving charity first, and metal, cardboard, e-waste and green waste are separated out. We keep the weight ticket on every load.
Do you serve unincorporated French Camp?
French Camp is unincorporated San Joaquin County, and yes — rural parcels, outbuildings, barns and deep lots are a large part of what we do out here. Long driveways and no curb access are not a problem; we bring the trailer to the pile.
How much to remove a hot tub?
$350 to $750. The number depends almost entirely on access — a tub on a patio with a wide gate is at the bottom of that range, a tub on a second-story deck or behind a fence with no gate is at the top.
Do I need an electrician?
Usually not. We disconnect at the spa pack and shut the breaker. If your setup needs a permit-level disconnect we will tell you before we start rather than in the middle.
Do you have to cut it up?
Almost always, and that is the point — cutting it into sections is what lets us take it out through a normal gate instead of pulling your fence apart or renting a crane.
How long does it take?
Two to four hours. Most are done in an afternoon.
