How to Get Rid of a Glass Coffee Table
Glass coffee tables are a popular decorating choice, but they can be tricky to remove. Here are some tips to help you get rid of your glass coffee table safely and efficiently.
Steps to Take:
- Assemble the Right Tools
You’ll need a few items to get the job done properly. Gather some thick gloves, a sealing box, and bubble wrap. You may also need a knife, tape, a few pieces of cardboard and potentially a drill.
- Put on Protective Gear
Before handling the glass table, make sure you’re protected. Wear the gloves at all times when taking the glass apart.
- Take the Table Apart
In almost all cases, the glass will need to be removed from its frame. Take it out slowly and carefully, being extra careful to keep it flat while you do so. Once you have it completely detached, use the tape and cardboard to reinforce it.
- Safely Wrapping the Table
Once it’s all taken apart, it’s time to wrap the glass. Make sure you use the bubble wrap to secure all the glass pieces, and if needed, cut out pieces of the box to fit all of the separate sections.
- Drill in Necessary Holes
If necessary, you may need to drill small holes in the corners of the sealing box for ventilation. This is important to prevent the box from collapsing under pressure.
- Dispose of the Table Properly
Once you have the glass table all properly wrapped and packed, you can dispose of it properly. Check with your local waste management center for the best disposal solution.
Following these steps should help you safely and efficiently get rid of your glass coffee table. With some patience and the right tools, you should be able to remove it with no problems.
