Garland weekly brush and bulky goods collection: pool tables
FreeA disassembled pool table is bulky goods. Most people hire a crew for slate.
Who qualifies: Residences with City of Garland sanitation service.
How to schedule: No appointment. Brush and bulky goods are collected every week from the front curb on the same day as your green trash cart. Set bulky items out no earlier than 6 p.m. the day before and by 7 a.m. on collection day, in separate piles at least 4 feet apart: brush, bulky goods, appliances, and bagged leaves and grass. Residents can also haul bulky waste free to the city Transfer Station at 1434 Commerce St.
Limits: Weekly, resident-generated only. Construction and demolition waste from your own project may be set out 4 times per calendar year. Glass must be boxed.
Set-out: Between the sidewalk and curb in the front yard (never the alley), not under power lines or branches, 4 feet from mailboxes, boxes, and other piles, with no cars parked in front.
Donation pickup in Garland (usable pool tables)
FreeDonation programs accept items in good usable condition: clean upholstered furniture without significant tears or stains, working appliances less than 10 years old, mattresses in good condition (subject to program rules), kitchenware, lamps, and most household goods.
Items typically not accepted: damaged or stained furniture, mattresses with bedbug history or significant wear, appliances that don’t work, particle-board furniture in poor condition, cribs (federal safety regulations have changed), and exercise equipment that requires reassembly. Always call the program before scheduling.
Freemoval (free pickups through partner organizations)
FreeFreemoval funds free junk removal and cleanouts for households referred by trusted partner organizations, such as nonprofits, housing programs, and senior services. Families don’t apply directly. A partner submits the request and vouches for the need.
Status in Garland: Not yet available. Freemoval currently serves metro Atlanta and plans to expand nationwide.
How it works where it operates: One free pickup per household, covering pool tables, furniture, appliances, and bulk household items within standard LoadUp marketplace service. Funded by LoadUp customer round-ups and direct contributions, spent at standard LoadUp rates.

Garland, Texas (#93 nationally) is in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and operates one of the most generous bulk programs in the country: weekly brush and bulky pickup from the front curb on the SAME day as regular trash collection. This is genuinely unusual nationwide, most cities offer bulk monthly, quarterly, or twice annually. Garland Sanitation also operates Hinton Landfill and a free Transfer Station. Customer service: (972) 205-3500 at 1434 Commerce Street. Holiday curbside service is mostly unaffected (only New Year’s, Thanksgiving, and Christmas trigger one-day delays). Find your collection day and bulky pickup using the MyGarland address lookup tool. This guide covers every disposal option for City of Garland residents.
The Garland rule for pool tables: A disassembled pool table is bulky goods. Most people hire a crew for slate.
Program basics: Weekly, resident-generated only. Construction and demolition waste from your own project may be set out 4 times per calendar year. Glass must be boxed. Between the sidewalk and curb in the front yard (never the alley), not under power lines or branches, 4 feet from mailboxes, boxes, and other piles, with no cars parked in front.
What the city will not take: Contractor-generated waste, household trash bags, paint, propane tanks, and household chemicals. Tires and electronics are not brush and bulky goods.
How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Garland Environmental Waste Services: Brush and Bulky Goods, City of Garland: Accepted and Unaccepted Materials (brush and bulky). 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.
Three mistakes that get pool tables left at the curb:
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 $500Billiards 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.

How do I disassemble a pool table?
Remove the pockets, unbolt and lift off the rails, pull the staples and remove the felt, unscrew the slate from the frame (typically a dozen screws per slab, sometimes under wax or plaster at the seams), lift each slab out with two people, then unbolt the frame from the legs. Two people, two to four hours.
