Here is how each route works in Scottsdale, starting with the city program and ending with paid pickup.
Scottsdale monthly brush and bulk collection: pool tables
FreeA disassembled pool table is bulk within the pile limit. Most people hire a crew for slate.
Who qualifies: Residents who pay for City of Scottsdale residential collection.
How to schedule: No appointment. Each address has a monthly collection week (My Services tool or the 2026 schedule). Put piles out no sooner than 3 days before and no later than 5 a.m. on the Monday of that week; crews pass once during the week. Residential customers may also haul up to 2,000 pounds a week to the Salt River Landfill free with a utility bill and matching ID.
Limits: Pile no larger than 10 by 6 by 4 feet (about six carts in two rows). Separate green waste and bulk piles 3 feet apart.
Set-out: At the curb or your side of the alley on your property line, away from meters and electrical boxes, by 5 a.m. Monday of your week and no more than 3 days early. Crews do not return for late piles.
Donation pickup in Scottsdale (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 Scottsdale: 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.

Scottsdale, Arizona (#94 nationally) operates its own Solid Waste Services for approximately 84,000 single-family residential accounts across 184.4 square miles. Scottsdale’s distinctive feature is the Salt River Landfill program: residential customers may haul up to 2,000 pounds per week FREE with City utility bill and valid driver’s license matching service address. The city offers monthly brush and bulk collection once per month by neighborhood zone, free electronics recycling events quarterly, and free home HHW collection service (unusual). Scottsdale uses address-based routing, use the “My Services” tool at scottsdaleaz.gov/solid-waste to find your specific collection days. Some neighborhoods use 300-gallon shared alley containers. This guide covers every disposal option for City of Scottsdale residents.
The Scottsdale rule for pool tables: A disassembled pool table is bulk within the pile limit. Most people hire a crew for slate.
Program basics: Pile no larger than 10 by 6 by 4 feet (about six carts in two rows). Separate green waste and bulk piles 3 feet apart. At the curb or your side of the alley on your property line, away from meters and electrical boxes, by 5 a.m. Monday of your week and no more than 3 days early. Crews do not return for late piles.
What the city will not take: Appliances, electronics, household hazardous waste, tires, concrete and construction debris, and moving boxes are not accepted in brush and bulk. City facilities are not drop-off sites for them either.
How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Scottsdale Solid Waste: Brush and Bulk Collection, City of Scottsdale: Resident Landfill Program (Salt River Landfill), City of Scottsdale: 2026 Brush and Bulk Removal Schedule. 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 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.
