Your Pool Table Disposal & Hauling Options

Why Pool Tables Cannot Be Moved Intact or Left at the Curb

Lifting an assembled slate pool table cracks the slate seams and warps the cabinet, and its 700–1,000 lb weight exceeds every city curbside bulk pickup limit. Even for disposal, the bumper rails, pockets, felt, and three 200-lb slate slabs must be unbolted (or fractured) inside the room before carrying them out. ^[1]

Professional In-Home Slate Pool Table Disassembly & Removal

LoadUp’s crews bring tools to strip the rails, unbolt the slate bed, and carry the slate slabs and heavy frame out of upstairs bonus rooms, basements, or rec rooms starting around $405. ^[1]
