Lexington free bulky item and appliance pickup: pool tables
FreeDisassembled, a pool table goes out as bulky items. Most people hire a crew for slate.
Who qualifies: Households with city (LFUCG) waste collection service.
How to schedule: Most bulky items, including mattresses and furniture, go out at the curb on your regular collection day with no call needed. Appliances and tires need a service request through LexCall (311 or 859-425-2255, online, or the app); appliance pickups usually come within 5 business days, free.
Limits: Up to 4 car or small truck tires per week, off the rims. No published cap on ordinary bulky items.
Set-out: At the curb next to your carts by 5 a.m. on collection day, no earlier than 4 p.m. the day before. Mattresses flat beside the carts.
Donation pickup in Lexington (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 Lexington: 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.

Lexington, Kentucky (#59 nationally) operates one of the more comprehensive municipal waste programs among mid-sized U.S. cities. Bulky item pickup is included in city services as a free benefit, scheduled by calling LexCall at 311 or (859) 425-2255, with pickups normally completed within 5 business days. Households receive three roll-out carts at no additional charge: green for trash, blue for recycling, and gray for yard waste. The City offers quarterly free trash disposal days at the Bluegrass Regional Transfer Station (1505 Old Frankfort Pike), where Fayette County residents can drop off up to one pickup truckload of household waste including bulky items, mattresses, furniture, and up to 4 tires off the rim. The City also operates a dedicated Electronics Recycling Center at 1306 Versailles Road. This guide covers every disposal option for Lexington-Fayette County residents.
The Lexington rule for pool tables: Disassembled, a pool table goes out as bulky items. Most people hire a crew for slate.
Program basics: Up to 4 car or small truck tires per week, off the rims. No published cap on ordinary bulky items. At the curb next to your carts by 5 a.m. on collection day, no earlier than 4 p.m. the day before. Mattresses flat beside the carts.
What the city will not take: Electronics (TVs, microwaves, computers, printers), humidifiers and dehumidifiers, appliances containing oil, and household hazardous waste. The Electronics Recycling Center takes e-waste free.
How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government: Bulky items, LFUCG: Appliances (free curbside appliance pickup), LFUCG: Free trash disposal day. 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.
LoadUp paid pool table pickup
$80+For Lexington households needing same-day or in-home pickup, items LexCall doesn’t schedule fast enough, large cleanouts beyond one truckload, or service when crew labor is needed (heavy items, multiple-piece sets), LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in the Lexington area for upfront-priced pickup.
What’s included: Loading, hauling, and licensed disposal of your pool table. No prep needed beyond pointing out what goes.
Pricing: Starts around $80 for a single item; full-truck pickups range from $300 to $600 depending on volume.
If you can pay for a pickup, your booking helps fund free pickups for someone else. Every paid LoadUp customer can opt in to round up at checkout, and 100% of round-ups go directly to Freemoval’s subsidized jobs.

How much does a pool table weigh?
A 7-foot slate table weighs about 700 pounds, an 8-foot 800 to 1,000, and a 9-foot up to 1,200. Three-piece slate accounts for 400 to 600 pounds of that. MDF tables weigh 200 to 350 pounds.
Can a pool table go out with bulk trash?
In pieces, the cabinet, legs, and rails are accepted by most bulk programs as furniture. Slate slabs are accepted in some cities and excluded as construction debris in others. Check your city in the directory below.
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.
Is a used pool table worth anything?
A slate table from a known maker in good condition sells for $300 to $2,000. Generic slate tables sell for $100 to $500 or move free within days. MDF tables have little resale value.
