Is your piano at the end of its life? Does it require you to spend more to fix it up than it is worth? Is it too outdated for anybody to be interested in taking it? Sounds like it may be time to send your piano to piano heaven.
How do you get rid of a piano?
Unfortunately, even if you set your old piano at the curb, your regular garbage pickup will not collect it. Your only real option is to hire a piano mover to take it to the local dump or a recycling facility. We know this will be a sad day for many people, but these are challenging times, and it is the only viable option.
Most junk disposal companies also will not take pianos away due to liability concerns. They do not want their workers injured while handling tasks for which they are not trained. The other reason you want a piano mover to do it is to protect your home from its departure. You may no longer care if the piano gets damaged, but normally, when something gets damaged, it is because two things collide. Is that other item on your walls, floor, another piece of furniture in your home or a human being? We always recommend hiring a professional piano mover for safety reasons.
How much does it cost to get rid of my piano?
This varies by moving company and by the difficulty of the piano move to get it out. Most companies will charge the standard piano-moving fee plus a disposal fee to cover disposal costs at the destination. These two fees depend on the type of piano you own (Grand vs. Upright), the difficulty of moving it out of your home (stairs), and your location (drive time).
