What To Do With Old Glass Coffee Tables
Glass coffee tables can add a touch of sophistication and class to a living or family room. But when the time comes to replace or dispose of an old glass coffee table that has been stored away in the basement or garage, what should you do? Here are some ideas of what to do with your old glass coffee table.
Recycle
The most environmentally friendly option for disposing of your old glass coffee table is to recycle it. Some glass companies will accept glass coffee tables for recycling. However, it is important that you research and find out the specific guidelines for recycling glass in your area, as some places may not accept items for recycling.
Donate
Donating your old glass coffee table is a great way to ensure that it is appreciated and put to good use by someone else. Consider donating to local charities, thrift stores, or even offering it up on Craigslist or eBay.
Upcycle
For those who want to get creative with their old glass coffee table, upcycling is the way to go. By painting the glass and metal legs, sanding it down and staining it, or even embellishing it with beads and tassels, you can transform your old table into a stylish and unique piece of furniture.
Compost
For those who really want to get away from disposing of their old glass table in a traditional way, composting is a great option. By breaking down the table into small pieces and adding it to the compost heap, you will be able to produce nutrient-rich soil while avoiding the landfill.
Re-sell
Finally, why not make a little cash off of your old glass coffee table? You can try to re-sell the table or even offer it to interior designers and antique dealers, who may be interested in purchasing it.
No matter which of these options you choose, getting rid of your old glass coffee table doesn’t have to be an environmentally irresponsible or costly task. Be sure to find the most sustainable and responsible way to deal with your old glass coffee table, and don’t be afraid to get creative with your choices.
