Piano Removal in Cascade, Wisconsin

To get rid of a piano for free, list it on sites like Craigslist or Freecycle for local pickup, contact music-focused non-profits (like The Beethoven Foundation) or local schools/churches who might arrange pickup, or find a specialized piano recycling/removal service that offers free removal for playable instruments. If it's not in good shape, be prepared for potential costs or consider creative repurposing projects like turning it into a desk or bookshelf.

Moving a piano typically costs $150–$650 for local moves and $500–$3,000+ for long-distance, depending heavily on the piano type (upright vs. grand), its size/weight, distance, and logistical challenges like stairs or narrow passages, with grand pianos and complex moves costing significantly more. Expect extra charges for difficult access, special equipment, and potential retuning after the move.

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.

Lifting such a monstrous piece of equipment is back-breaking work, even if you're only lifting it onto a dolly. Many times, confident homeowners attempt to lift a piano and not only damage the instrument but injure themselves. Next time, err on the side of caution: let professionals handle the heavy lifting instead.
