Take your cup/plate/utensils to the sink
at work i have to tell kids to pick up after themselves when they're done eating so i'll say, "take care of your mess at the table" or "clear your place at the table" so what can i say in spanish to convey the same meaning?

Conjugate it in command form and you're good to go.
Recoger la mesa also works. |

In Spain you should say recoger la mesa. If you say quitar la mesa, they will take the table and put it on the sink :-D

In Mexico, you'd use levantar la mesa or recoger la mesa.
In English, clear the table is probably the most common way of saying this, but I was just thinking about it, and does anyone else use rid the table? Because I certainly do, but I suspect it's a regional thing.

I believe that your question toward Davis is merely personal. And I believe that you should ask him for a message in your inbox. I also never have heard the word Rid the table before. David. Please if you can clarify that phrase. I mean. What does it mean?
