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 Is it too outdated for anybody to be interested in taking it?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 get your old piano to the curb, your regular garbage pickup will not pick it up. So your only real option is to hire a piano mover to take it away to the local dump or a recycling facility. We know this will be a sad day for many people, but these days, it is the only viable option available.
Most junk disposal companies also will not take pianos away due to liability concerns. They do not want their workers injured doing something they are not trained to handle. 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 between moving companies, and the difficulty of the piano move to get it out. Most companies will charge the standard piano moving fee and a disposal fee to cover the disposal charges for wherever it ends up. These two fees will depend on the type of piano you own (Grand vs Upright), the difficulty level of getting it out of your home (stairs), and where you live (drive time).
