Old pianos have almost no resale value — the market is flooded with free uprights nobody can move — and they can't go in the trash. That leaves removal. We've hauled 90 pianos in the last 24 months, including uprights down from third-floor walk-ups and grands out of Gold Coast condos. Crews come with piano boards, straps and enough people to do it safely.
Most pianos are disposed of: the cast-iron plate and strings are recycled as scrap (that's most of the weight), the wood case is disposed of properly. If a piano is truly playable and in good condition, we'll say so and suggest trying to re-home it first — but we'll tell you honestly if it's not worth the effort.

How Piano Removal & Disposal Works
-
1
Book a free onsite estimate
Book online, or call or text (312) 800-1940. Pick an arrival window — same-day and next-day are often available, Monday through Saturday.
-
2
The crew gives you a firm price on the spot
They look at everything and quote one number that covers labor, loading, hauling and disposal. No obligation: if it doesn't work for you, they leave and there's no charge.
-
3
Say yes and it's gone — same visit
The crew carries everything out from wherever it sits, loads it, and sweeps up. Most jobs are finished in that same visit.
-
4
You don't even have to be there
If the crew can reach the items — alley, garage, a doorman or a code — they'll do the job while you're at work, send before-and-after photos, and take payment by phone or with a card on file.
