How Piano Removal Works:

Piano removals are some of our favorite jobs because we’re confident that, from an expertise standpoint, you’re getting the best value. 

We can haul away any piano in less than an afternoon! 

​

Our rubbish removal professionals are familiar with various types of pianos and the proper way to remove them, even if some disassembly is required.  Our crew is able quickly and safely disassemble the pianos when needed.  

 

We’ll even clean up after we are done like we were never there! We always try our best to keep pianos intact, but for some jobs it’s safer for the rest of your property (walls, doors, and other furniture) to remove the old piano piece by piece. 

​

When we’re done and you’ve approved of the job, we can take payment on our tablets with cash, credit, or check and you can enjoy your new space!

Piano Disposal – Ultimate Guide to Disposal and Dismantling

Guides

Piano disposal can be tricky due to the instrument’s sheer size and weight, but we’ve created a guide on everything you need to know about piano disposal and dismantling.  So, if you’ve decided the piano isn’t for you, this is the guide for you.

This guide covers:

  1. How to dispose of a piano

  2. How to dismantle a piano

  3. Piano reuse options

  4. Piano disposal near me – will a Man & Van remove my piano?

  5. Are pianos included in council bulky waste collections?

  6. Can I take my piano to the tip?

  7. How much is piano disposal? – A price comparison.

  8. How to dismantle a piano

  9. Transporting a piano can be difficult due to its size, which is why it’s sometimes a good idea to dismantle the piano first for easy transport.  However, this option is only good if you’re not hoping to reuse the piano, as taking it apart will most likely damage some of the pieces.

  10. How to take a piano apart:

  11. Open the piano keys lid and take off the piano desk.  The piano desk is removed every time the piano is tuned, so it should be easy to lift.

  12. Unscrew the piano keys’ lid.

  13. Unscrew the key stop rail – this is the bit of wood that keeps the keys in place.

  14. Remove the keys by simply pulling them up.

  15. After that, you’ll need to get on the floor and remove the screws which are underneath where the keys were – this will let you take off the key slip and the lower front board to expose the strings and pedals underneath.

  16. Unscrew the pedal mechanisms.

  17. Remove the piano side supports.  The easiest way to do this is with the piano lying on its back.  The frame is held in place with screws, so you’ll need to remove them and then pull the side planks off.

  18. Finally, remove the screws and bolts attaching the harp to the piano body.  Remove all screws you see.

  19. Here’s a great YouTube video that shows the process
