The Recycling process
Getting rid of an unwanted piano is difficult these days. It’s too heavy to lift in to your car and it’s too hard to manoeuvre out of the house and over the door steps etc.
We are licensed to legally transport and dispose of your piano. We can legally dispose of them in an environmentally friendly way.
We come to your house and we do all the hard work getting the piano out and then take it away to be recycled.

Pianos never go straight to landfill. Once we have collected your piano, we take it back to our warehouse where it is broken down in to its key elements, mainly wood and metal. We even recover the little pieces of lead that are inserted in to the back end of every key.
The recovered wood is taken to a registered waste transfer station where it usually gets recycled in to briquettes or other burnable material. The metal is transported and recycled separately.
We aim to send less than 1% of the piano to landfill, some modern pianos have plastic keys which cant currently be recycled (but we`re working on that).
Unlike your local authority, we will remove your piano within from your house (upstairs, downstairs, wherever) and unlike your local authority we do give you a date and a approximate time when we will call, meaning you won’t have a piano in your front garden for a few weeks or longer.
