The 123JUNK Pool Table Removal Process

At 123JUNk, we make pool table removal easy, safe, and fast for our customers in Alexandria, VA. Our 5-step process is stress-free from start to finish.

Step 1: Schedule Your Removal

Booking your pool table removal with 123JUNK is simple. You can schedule online or by phone, whichever is easiest for you. We offer free, no-obligation estimates so you know the cost upfront and our flexible scheduling options to fit your busy schedule.

Step 2: Disassembly and Removal

Once scheduled, our junk removal team in Alexandria will arrive at your location to disassemble the pool table. This minimizes the risk of damage to the table and your home. Our team will take every precaution to ensure your home is damage-free, navigating tight spaces and protecting your walls, floors, and doorways.

Step 3: Transportation and Disposal

After the table is disassembled, we will transport all the parts out of your home. We handle the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to worry about any part of the process.

What Happens to Your Pool Table After We Take It?

At 123JUNK, we’re committed to being eco-friendly. After we take your pool table, we follow a simple 1-2-3 process for responsible disposal.

1. Donate

If your pool table is still in good shape, we’ll donate it to local charities or organizations. We give your pool table a second life, help the Alexandria community, and reduce waste.

2. Recycle

For tables that aren’t donation-worthy, we move to the recycling stage. Many pool table components like metal, wood, and slate can be broken down and recycled. Our team breaks down these materials to ensure they are properly processed at local recycling centers.

3. Dispose

As a last resort, we dispose of any non-recyclable materials. We work with licensed facilities that follow environmentally responsible disposal methods to minimize landfill waste.

 

What Makes a Pool Table So Heavy?

Pool tables are heavy, really heavy. Several hundred to over a thousand pounds heavy. But what makes them so heavy? Let’s dissect the parts that make up the beast.

1. Slate Bed

The slate bed is the foundation of most high-end pool tables and is one of the main reasons for their weight. Slate is a hard, dense rock that provides the smooth, flat surface needed for accurate play. Most tables use one piece of slate or multiple slabs that can weigh anywhere from 200 to 800 pounds, depending on the size and thickness of the table.

2. Wooden Frame

The frame of the pool table, made from hardwoods like oak, mahogany, or maple, supports the slate and provides the structure. Hardwood is chosen not only for looks but also for its ability to withstand the weight of the table. This adds a bunch of weight; the wooden frame alone can weigh several hundred pounds.

3. Cushions and Rails

The cushions and rails that surround the playing surface may not seem like heavy parts, but are made from dense rubber and wood to provide consistent ball rebound. The thick rubber cushions and solid wood rail system add more weight to the table and ensure precise play.

4. Legs and Support Beams

Pool tables need strong support to hold up the slate bed and frame. The legs and support beams are usually made from wood or metal and add more weight to the table. These parts are critical to keeping the table level and stable even with a heavy slate bed.

5. Felt Cover

This is not heavy at all, but an important part of the table’s anatomy. The felt or cloth cover is made from wool or a wool-nylon blend and provides a smooth surface for the balls to roll on. It does not have much weight, but quality can affect play speed and precision.
