Hard Waste Collection: This service is priced at $230 for upright and $350 for pianolas. It involves taking your piano to a designated hard waste collection area on the street in front of your house.

Your responsibility is to contact the local council to inform them about the piano, so they can prepare for its collection. This service is typically free.
DO NOT try to dismantle a Piano: It is strongly advised not to attempt dismantling a piano to reduce its weight. The majority of a piano's weight comes from its iron frame; the wood and strings are relatively light. Disassembling a piano improperly can be dangerous and may not significantly reduce the disposal effort or cost.

The fees mentioned include the handling of the piano up to two steps during the move. This means if your piano is located in a place that requires navigating steps, the service covers up to two steps without additional charges.
