That old pool table in your basement or game room seemed like a great idea at the time, or maybe it’s seen better days. But now? It’s collecting dust, taking up valuable space, and you’re wondering how to get rid of something that weighs hundreds of pounds. The best way is to bring in a professional pool table hauler.
If you’ve ever tried moving one yourself, you already know this isn’t a one-person job. In fact, it’s not even a two-person job for most people.
At Mike & Dad's Hauling, we’ve been helping Portland homeowners with their toughest junk removal challenges for over 37 years. Pool tables are difficult to move without the right team, equipment, and know-how. And that’s exactly what we bring to every job.
How Mike & Dad's Hauling Handles Pool Tables
When you call us for pool table removal in Portland, you’re getting a team that knows exactly what to do. We’ve removed pool tables from basements, attics, game rooms, garages, and just about every other spot you can imagine. Our crew shows up with the right equipment and enough hands to get the job done safely and efficiently.
When you schedule your pool table removal service, we ask you about the type of table you have: is it a full-size regulation table? A smaller bumper pool table? A tabletop model? This information helps us give you an accurate price upfront with no surprises.
We also want to make sure we send the right team with the proper equipment. Our crew handles everything from start to finish. We carefully disassemble what needs to be taken apart, protect your floors and walls during the removal process, and load everything into our trucks. So you don’t have to lift a finger!
By the time we leave, the only reminder of your old pool table will be the extra space you now have to enjoy.
We Can Haul Away Any Type of Pool Table
Our team is experienced with all kinds of pool tables, regardless of size, style, or condition:
- We regularly remove large regulation tables, which are the standard 8-foot or 9-foot tables. These are the heaviest and most challenging to move, but our crew has done hundreds of them over the years.
- We also handle bumper pool tables, which are smaller and oval-shaped but still surprisingly heavy.
- Tabletop pool tables and convertible game tables are no problem either.
It doesn’t matter if your pool table is in perfect condition or if it’s falling apart. We can haul it away either way. Just let us know what you’re working with when you call, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Same-Day Removal
We understand that when you’re ready to get rid of a pool table, you want it gone as soon as possible. That’s why we offer same-day pool table removal in Portland whenever our schedule allows.
If you call us before 10AM, there’s a good chance we can get to you that very day. We know how frustrating it is to have that giant table sitting there taking up space, and we work hard to get to you as quickly as possible.
Of course, our appointments do fill up fast, especially during busy seasons. But even if same-day service isn’t available, we can usually get you scheduled within a day or two.

How Can I Get Rid of a Pool Table Myself?
- Donation is a great option if your pool table is still in good working condition. Local charities, community centers, youth organizations, and churches are sometimes looking for recreational equipment. However, finding a charity that can actually pick up a pool table is often the tricky part. Most don’t have the manpower or trucks to handle something so large and heavy.
- Selling your pool table is another possibility. Online marketplaces and local classifieds can help you find a buyer. The challenge here is that the buyer usually expects you to help with disassembly or at least make the table accessible for pickup. And if your table has seen better days, finding a buyer willing to pay a fair price can be difficult.
- Recycling is an eco-friendly choice that many people don’t think about. Pool tables are made of materials that can be repurposed. The wood frame can be recycled or turned into other products. Metal components like bolts, brackets, and rails can be taken to scrap metal facilities. Even the slate can sometimes be reused in construction or landscaping projects.
If you want a hassle-free solution that covers all these bases, booking a pickup with a professional pool table disposal service like Mike & Dad's Hauling is your best bet.
Mike & Dad's Hauling prioritizes recycling and donating whenever possible. We partner with local organizations like St. Vincent De Paul to donate gently used items, and we make sure recyclable materials end up at the right facilities. So when you choose us, you can feel good knowing your pool table is being disposed of responsibly.
Why Removal Is Harder Than You Think
Let’s be honest: pool tables are great to have when you actually use them. But when it’s time for them to go, they become one of the most frustrating items in your home. The average pool table weighs anywhere from 700 to 1,000 pounds. Some regulation-size tables weigh even more. Their slate alone (that heavy stone surface under the felt) can weigh several hundred pounds by itself.
Beyond the weight, there’s the awkward shape to deal with. Pool tables don’t fit through standard doorways without being partially taken apart. The legs need to come off. The slate often needs to be removed separately. And if you’re dealing with stairs? That adds another layer of difficulty and danger. Many homeowners try to tackle pool table disposal on their own, only to end up with damaged walls, scratched floors, or worse: injuries.
We’ve seen it all over our 37 years in the business: strained backs, broken banisters, and tables stuck halfway up a staircase. It’s just not worth the risk when professional pool table hauling is so affordable and stress-free.
