How Anaheim handles pool tables

Anaheim, California provides 3 free bulky item pickups per calendar year, up to 10 items per pickup, by appointment through Republic Services at (714) 238-2444 or 1-800-700-8610. Refrigerators and air conditioners require a small additional fee for refrigerant recovery. California SB 1383 mandates the three-cart system: gray/black for trash, blue for recycling, green for organics including food waste. The North Orange County HHW Facility on N. Blue Gum Street in Anaheim handles paint, chemicals, and electronics free for OC residents. This guide covers every disposal option for City of Anaheim residents.

The Anaheim rule for pool tables: Disassembled, a pool table fits within 20 items. Most people hire a crew for slate.

Program basics: 3 pickups a year, 20 items per pickup. Republic does not enter homes; items must be at the curb. Move the listed items to the curb on your scheduled pickup date. Abandoned items on public property are reported through 311 and do not count against your household.

What the city will not take: Household hazardous waste (OC Household Hazardous Waste Collection Centers) and construction debris, which needs a Republic bin rental.

How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Anaheim: Bulky Item Collection (Republic Services). Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.

Why pool tables are different from ordinary bulk. Nobody can move a slate table intact. The slate cracks if the frame flexes, the table does not fit through a door, and the weight exceeds what four people can safely carry. Every disposal option therefore starts with disassembly, which takes two people two to four hours with a socket set, a staple remover, and a drill.

Prep checklist before pickup day in Anaheim

  • List the table for sale or free before disassembly; buyers bring the labor.
  • Remove pockets and unbolt the rails from underneath.
  • Pull the felt staples and roll the felt off; fill any slate seams later only if reassembling.
  • Unscrew each slate slab from the frame and lift out with two people, one slab at a time.
  • Unbolt the frame from the legs, bundle the rails, and mark slate slabs 'heavy' for crews.

Three mistakes that get pool tables left at the curb:

  • Don't try to move a slate table assembled. The slate cracks, the frame racks, and someone gets hurt.
  • Don't haul the slate if a buyer will. List the table free before you touch a bolt.
  • Don't scrap or dump the slate when gardeners will take it free as stepping stones.

Paid options are for tables that will not sell, basements with tight stairs, and cities that exclude slate from bulk pickup.

Pool table movers (disassembly only)

$200 to $500

Billiards service companies will disassemble a table and leave the pieces staged for bulk pickup or a hauler. This is the right call when you cannot do the slate yourself.

Ask them to haul the slate if your city excludes it; many have a landscape outlet for it.
