Chalkboard Removal

When donating or selling old chalkboards, start with schools, universities and other educational institutions. These places, of course, use chalkboards, whiteboards and other classroom materials everyday, so they may be interested in purchasing yours.

You can also reach out to nonprofit organizations or community centers to donate your chalkboard. The best way to sell an old chalkboard is online. Look for marketplaces on Facebook, Craigslist and more. If you want to donate your items but don’t have the means to do so by yourself, you can book LoadUp online and we’ll help deliver your old chalkboard to a charity or donation center.

Recycling options for used chalkboards vary based on your location, as well as what the chalkboard is made of. Most are constructed using porcelain enamel with a steel base. Porcelain is difficult to recycle because there isn’t a ton of demand for it in the industry, but you can break your chalkboard into the recyclable parts, such as steel or wood, and place them in your curbside recycling bin.

For the remainder of your chalkboard, you’re best off contacting your local recycling facility to see if they’ll take it. You can also call a junk removal service that specializes in recycling materials to keep junk out of landfills, like LoadUp!

There are a ton of different old chalkboard ideas to spark inspiration when determining how you’ll repurpose yours. Websites like Pinterest have a ton of really cool DIY chalkboard ideas. For example, you can transform yours into a chalkboard sign for a big event like a wedding, a photo display, decorative chalkboard walls for the kids to play with wall decor and much more.
