How do you get rid of a hot tub?


I want to remvoe the hot-tub in our back yard. It is in perfect working order, but we never use it and would prefer to use the space for other reasons. Since the hot tub is connected to an electrical outlet, do I need an electrician to do anything or can I just unplug it and have it hauled away?



Does anyone know what type of company would even remove a tob tub since I assume they need a crane or heavy equipment to move it?
