Why hire a professional piano pickup and removal service instead of donating your old piano?

Piano donation services sound like a great way to get rid of a piano but often come with big challenges and limitations. Even if you have a perfect piano that passes the standards for donation, the process to get it donated can take weeks and at the cost of your time, energy, and space. Free piano pickups and donations, such as Pianos for Education, have strict requirements for what qualifies for donation or free pick up. Your piano needs to be one of the listed brands and it must be in good condition for it to be worthwhile for them to pick it up. If you pass those basic criteria, you can fill out their form which requires descriptions of the model, serial number, your personal information, and requires you to upload photos showing the quality of the piano. After going through all of that, you’ll have to wait 3 to 7 days to hear if you qualify for an old piano donation. It’s possible they may follow up by asking for more details or photos. If you do qualify for donation, you’ll have to organize a pickup time that is likely days to weeks later when the donation service can organize resources to pick it up, leaving you with a piano you don’t want for weeks. Comparably, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? takes all the stress out of piano pickup and removal. Find out if we take pianos in your area by calling us to book your onsite estimate. We’ll be there as soon as you need us to give you a no-obligation quote and let you know what your best piano disposal options are. Then you can sit back and watch as your piano disappears!

Piano removal FAQs

How do you dispose of a broken piano?

Getting rid of your old piano is not as simple as throwing it into the trash. Pianos are large and made of materials that do not break down naturally in landfills.

Here’s how you can properly get rid of your old piano:

Determine if your broken piano is beyond repair - if it can be fixed, it may have more value being donated. Check to see if your local trash or junk removal service, charities, and recycling facility accepts pianos or offers piano disposal service. Schedule a pickup time with piano movers. Clear a path for the piano movers to carry the instrument through. Moving a piano is more than a one-person job. Your best option is to hire professionals who have the tools to handle it for you.

How do I donate or recycle a piano?

One way to dispose of an old piano is to donate it. However, the size of your piano and the condition that it is in plays a large role in whether or not an organization will accept your donation.

There are many places that accept piano donations, including:

Nonprofit organizations

Schools

Social groups

Retirement homes

Recreation centers

Service clubs

Afterschool programs.

Donating to many of these organizations may be tax-deductible. Of course, there may be organizations in your area that also accept pianos in need of repair.

Can pianos be recycled?

Pianos are made of several materials, including wood, steel wire, screws, and cast iron, that can be recycled once the instrument is broken down. If you’re looking to give your piano a second chance at life, check with your local recycling centers to find out if they will accept a used piano and whether or not it will cost you money to deliver it.
