Hello, i have the slate for a 8ft table and am having a hard time getting rid of it. any ideas other then throwing it away

donate it to a teen center or church and take a tax write off, short of that try craigslist or ebay

call your local tile and stone guy, bet he can use it for something

Try custom builders, also. Slate in larger pieces has lots of uses: counter tops, bathroom vanity tops, fireplace hearths and surrounds, etc. It isn't cheap, either. Seven or eight years ago in San Diego, counter tops were running upwards of $30 per square foot installed. You wouldn't get that much for it because they'd have to cut it to size, polish it, etc, but you might want to try shopping around for a good price.

I'm thankful I don't have it - my wife would have me re-topping the stupid breakfast bar and I hate that kind of work.
