Can I just leave my piano on the curb for bulk trash pickup?
No. Most municipalities legally prohibit acoustic pianos in bulk trash pickup due to their extreme weight (often 500 to 1,000+ lbs) and the environmental hazards of dumping them whole. Specialized, permitted removal is required.
How much does piano removal cost?
Pricing is based on the size of the piano, the complexity of the removal (such as navigating stairs or tight corners), and the municipal dump and recycling fees in our specific area. It typically costs roughly the same as a standard local move.
Will you try to sell my piano instead of recycling it?
No. If you hire us for end-of-life removal, the piano will be disassembled and recycled. If we evaluate your piano and believe it still holds significant resale or musical value, we will explicitly inform you of that before proceeding with any removal.
Are there any hazardous materials in old pianos?
Occasionally, antique pianos (pre-1930s) may contain ivory keytops or lead weighting concealed inside the keys. We are highly trained to identify and handle these materials safely and in accordance with local environmental regulations.
