Your options for getting rid of a piano
Take it to the tip
Possible if you can move it yourself, but the lifting and the transport are down to you.
- You choose when it goes
- No need to wait for anyone else
- You need enough people and a suitable vehicle
- The lifting is all yours
- Check what the tip takes first on our [Hampshire tips](/hampshire-tips/) page
Sell it or give it away
Worth a try if the piano is in good shape and someone is happy to collect it.
- It may go to someone who wants it
- Can save you the cost of disposal
- Buyers can be slow to turn up
- Moving it is still a job for the person collecting, so check they can manage it

Piano disposal questions
Can I take a piano to the tip myself?
It depends on what the tip accepts, so check our [Hampshire tips](/hampshire-tips/) page first. You would also need the people and vehicle to move it, which is the hard part.
Can I give my piano away?
Yes, if it is in decent shape you may find someone who wants it. Make sure they can collect and move it themselves.
How do I get a price from you?
Use the quote form. Answer a few quick questions, add some photos of the piano and anything else going, and we price the job up front.
Do I have to carry it out?
No. We carry everything out from inside, so you don't lift a thing.
