Piano Removal in Meridian, Idaho

To get rid of a piano for free, list it on Craigslist, Freecycle, or Piano Adoption as "free, pickup only," contact local schools, churches, or non-profits like The Beethoven Foundation, or try selling it for parts if broken. Many organizations and individuals want serviceable pianos but often can't handle the heavy moving costs, so offering free pickup is key.

To get rid of a piano, you can donate it to schools, churches, or charities (often for a tax deduction), sell it (if in good condition), call a junk removal service (cost involved, but they haul it away, sometimes recycling parts), or recycle it by dismantling it yourself for scrap metal and wood if you're handy and local facilities allow. For unusable pianos, junk removal or recycling are common, while good ones can often find new homes through donation or sale.

A piano dolly is essential for moving an upright piano short distances yourself, but hiring professional piano movers is almost always better for safety (yours and the piano's), preventing costly damage, and handling complex moves (like grands or stairs), as they have specialized equipment (skid boards, straps, trucks) and expertise that a standard dolly can't replace for valuable instruments. While a dolly saves money upfront, the potential costs of injury or a ruined piano far outweigh the expense of professionals.
