Free pool table removal in Jacksonville

Here is how each route works in Jacksonville, starting with the city program and ending with paid pickup.

Jacksonville curbside household bulk collection: pool tables

Free

A disassembled pool table is bulk furniture. Slate is heavy; most people hire a crew.

Who qualifies: Houses with City of Jacksonville residential collection. Apartment complexes are commercial accounts and use their own haulers.

How to schedule: No appointment for ordinary bulk. In areas without automated carts (City and Meridian Waste areas) bulk is collected weekly with garbage; in automated-cart areas (Waste Pro) it is every other week. Appliances and tires are the exception: schedule those by calling 630-CITY (904-630-2489) or at myjax.custhelp.com.

Limits: 5 cubic yards per week, about 30 full 32-gallon bags. Tires are limited to 4 standard vehicle tires per scheduled pickup.

Set-out: Curbside between 5 p.m. the day before and 6 a.m. on collection day, at least 3 feet from carts and away from mailboxes and cars.

Donation pickup in Jacksonville (usable pool tables)

Free

Jacksonville’s donation 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-specific 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 before scheduling if you’re unsure, pickups that find unacceptable items will leave them behind.

How Jacksonville handles pool tables

Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States, 757 square miles, and that scale shapes how trash collection works here. Bulk pickup is weekly with no appointment needed for most items, but appliances and tires require scheduling. This page walks through every option in order from free to paid, with the specific rules that apply across Duval County.

The Jacksonville rule for pool tables: A disassembled pool table is bulk furniture. Slate is heavy; most people hire a crew.

Program basics: 5 cubic yards per week, about 30 full 32-gallon bags. Tires are limited to 4 standard vehicle tires per scheduled pickup. Curbside between 5 p.m. the day before and 6 a.m. on collection day, at least 3 feet from carts and away from mailboxes and cars.

What the city will not take: Household hazardous waste of any kind (illegal in the residential stream under city code), appliances and tires without a scheduled pickup, and anything from a business.

How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Jacksonville Solid Waste: Service Standards, City of Jacksonville Solid Waste Collection Quick Reference Guide, City of Jacksonville: Household Hazardous Waste Facility. 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 Jacksonville

  • 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.
