Every route for a pool table in Reno, checked in October 2026 against the city’s current rules and the drop-off sites named. The full Reno guide covers every other item.
Here is how each route works in Reno, starting with the city program and ending with paid pickup.
Reno bulky waste options (Waste Management): pool tables
Not collectedHire a crew.
Why: Tires, Freon appliances, batteries, paint, oil, chemicals, construction debris, rock and dirt, and carpet are excluded from WM bulky pickups; many are accepted at the transfer stations for a fee.
Donation pickup in Reno (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 Reno: 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.

Reno, Nevada (#78 nationally) is served by Waste Management (WM) of Northern Nevada under exclusive franchise agreement, distinct from the Republic Services system that covers southern Nevada (Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas). Reno residential customers receive 4 free trips per year to WM transfer stations (Commercial Row or Stead), with each trip good for one standard pickup truck load (3 cubic yards). 20 excess waste stickers are provided annually for overflow trash beyond cart capacity. Lockwood Landfill accepts one bulky item per household at no cost Monday to Saturday. WM provides service on all federal holidays in Reno (a key advantage). HHW is handled through GrayMar Environmental with annual vouchers mailed in July bills. This guide covers every disposal option for City of Reno residents.
The Reno rule for pool tables: Hire a crew.
What the city will not take: Tires, Freon appliances, batteries, paint, oil, chemicals, construction debris, rock and dirt, and carpet are excluded from WM bulky pickups; many are accepted at the transfer stations for a fee.
How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Reno: Recycling and waste (WM franchise services), 2News: Reno fall cleanup events for bulky waste (September 2026). 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 Reno households needing in-home pickup, items beyond your free WM allowances, or service when crew labor is needed (heavy items, multi-piece sets), LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in the Reno-Sparks 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.
