Tables (Dining, Coffee, etc.)
Disposal Rules
Tables of all sizes are accepted in dumpsters. Remove or fold legs to make them stackable. Glass tabletops should be handled carefully and wrapped to prevent breakage.
Pro Tip
Unscrew table legs and lay the top flat on the bottom of the dumpster. Stack other items on top.
Alternatives
Usable tables are easy to give away on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. Thrift stores usually accept them.
