I have a high quality acrylic coffee table that I do not want to take
on an upcoming move. It is 40" wide and 60" long and weighs well over
100 pounds. A local Houston furniture consignment store will not take
it. How can I dispose of this large a piece of acrylic material?Hi teddyz,
Have you considered calling a charity thrift shop or a women?s shelter
to pick up your table? They often pick up items, even large heavy
items in my area, and the ones I have included in my answer all claim
to pick up furniture in the Houston area as well.

Value Village in my area is always pleased to pick up large items, and
some of their revenues benefit Big Brothers and Big Sisters. I was
pleased to see there is a Value Village in Houston! 7645 Dashwood Dr.

If donating the table fails, you could contact an acrylic recycler:
Norkhan is a Houston acrylic recycler. Unfortunately you need to fill
out a form requesting information to get any information.
