We specialize in navigating tight spaces, stairways, and challenging layouts, ensuring smooth removal without stress.

Why Hire Professionals for Piano Removal?

Our professional removal team has the training, equipment, and experience to move pianos safely. We use specialized dollies, straps, and padding to secure the piano and prevent scratches or dents during the move. This ensures that neither your instrument nor your property suffer any damage.

Additionally, we provide complete disassembly and reassembly services for grand or baby grand pianos. If the piano needs to be moved through narrow spaces or upstairs, we dismantle the necessary parts and carefully put everything back together at its destination.

Beyond skill, hiring professionals also means peace of mind. With us, you avoid the physical strain, potential injuries, and frustration of doing it yourself. Our experts understand how to handle unexpected obstacles, ensuring a smooth, efficient process every time.

Eco-Friendly Disposal Options for Old Pianos

At Trash & Stash, we prioritize eco-friendly disposal methods. Simply dumping a piano into a landfill is not our style—we strive to reduce waste wherever possible. Many pianos contain valuable materials like wood, metal, and even ivory, which can be recycled or reused.

If your piano is still playable, we offer donation options. Many schools, churches, and community centers welcome donated pianos. If donation is not an option, we recycle every part we can, such as repurposing wood for furniture or recovering metal components for future use. Our eco-conscious practices ensure that disposing of your piano leaves the smallest environmental footprint possible.

Understanding the Cost of Piano Removal

Several factors affect the cost of removing a piano, including the instrument’s type and size, the move’s complexity, and the distance involved. Upright pianos are typically more straightforward to move, with prices between $200 and $300. However, grand pianos or baby grand pianos can be more expensive to move, costing $500-$700, especially if disassembly is required or the piano must be maneuvered through narrow spaces or staircases.

Our pricing is transparent, with no hidden fees. We also offer free estimates, allowing you to plan your budget without surprises. The job’s complexity, such as moving through difficult hallways or multiple flights of stairs, may increase the cost. Rest assured, we always provide clear and honest pricing upfront.

Preparing for Your Piano Removal

Although we manage most of the work, a little preparation on your part can make the removal process smoother. Before our team arrives, ensure the pathway from the piano to the exit is clear. Move small furniture pieces and clear clutter to give us room to work efficiently. If there are any stairs, tight spaces, or specific challenges we should know about, let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.

If unsure whether your piano can be donated or recycled, we’ll assess it upon arrival and determine the best action. With your cooperation, we’ll ensure the process is quick and seamless.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to remove a piano?

The cost of removing a piano varies based on factors like its size, location, and accessibility. On average, professional piano removal services range from $150 to $400. Upright pianos typically fall on the lower end of the range, while grand pianos or heavy antiques may cost more due to the extra labor and equipment required.

Additional fees might apply if stairs are involved or the piano is in a challenging location, ranging from $50 to $100. Some companies may also charge for transportation to a disposal or donation center, with those fees averaging $1 to $2 per mile beyond a certain radius.

Some people try to sell or donate their pianos to save on costs. However, if the piano is beyond repair, disposal fees will apply, especially if it contains non-recyclable materials. For complex jobs, getting multiple quotes is wise to find the best service within your budget.

Do you offer same-day piano removal?

Yes, we offer same-day piano removal for customers needing urgent service. Our team is equipped to handle upright, baby grand, and full-size grand pianos efficiently and safely.

  • Availability: Same-day service depends on your location, the accessibility of the piano, and scheduling capacity.

What happens if the piano is still in good condition?

If the piano is still in good condition, you have several options beyond disposal:

  • Donation: Many schools, community centers, churches, or non-profit organizations accept piano donations. This not only clears space but also benefits others.
  • Selling: To find a buyer, you can list the piano on online marketplaces like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or specialized music forums.
  • Trade-In: Some piano retailers offer trade-in programs, allowing you to exchange your piano for store credit toward other musical instruments or services.
  • Storage or Moving: If you want to keep the piano but need it relocated, professional movers can safely transport it to a new home or storage unit.

When using our removal service, let us know if the piano is in good condition. We can assist with donations or connect you with potential buyers to ensure it finds a new home instead of being discarded.

Do I need to be present during the removal?

No, you don’t necessarily need to be present during the piano removal, but it can be helpful. Here’s how it works:

  • If You’re Present
    • You can guide the removal team through your home and provide access to the piano area.
    • Any last-minute questions about handling, placement, or disposal can be addressed immediately.
    • You can inspect the area after removal to ensure no damage occurred.
  • If You’re Not Present
    • You can arrange prior access, such as leaving a key with a neighbor or providing entry instructions.
    • Our team will proceed according to your instructions and send confirmation once the job is done.
    • If there are complex logistics, being reachable by phone during the removal helps.

Ultimately, your presence isn’t mandatory, but it ensures smoother communication and quick decision-making if unexpected situations arise.
