Whether you're an aspiring musician or a seasoned professional, parting with an old musical instrument can be a mix of emotions. It's not just a piece of furniture; it holds memories. However, the logistical challenges of disposing of it—especially large items like pianos and drum sets—can be overwhelming.
This guide will walk you through your options and explain why a professional disposal service is the best way to get rid of your musical instruments safely and legally in Singapore.
Pianos: Upright, Digital & Organs
While a grand piano may be a rarity, upright pianos, digital pianos, and organs are common household items that present a unique challenge.
Upright Pianos: Weighing anywhere from 175 to 350 kg, an upright piano is a heavy, awkward item that can cause serious injury or property damage if handled improperly. Your town council will almost certainly not accept it.
Digital Pianos & Organs: These are often large, cumbersome, and contain complex electronic components. They can't be thrown away with general waste. While some parts may be recyclable, the overall item is too big for standard e-waste bins.
Attempting to move or dispose of a piano or organ yourself is not recommended. It's a job for trained professionals with the right equipment.
Disposing of Musical Instruments in Singapore
A full drum set can be surprisingly complex to dispose of. It's a collection of separate items—cymbals, stands, drums—that take up a lot of space.
Donating or Selling: If your drum set or guitar is in good condition, consider selling it on platforms like Carousell or donating it to a local music school or charity like Hope Centre or The Salvation Army. However, these organizations often have specific criteria and may not provide a pickup service.
Disposal: If the instrument is broken or in poor condition, it needs to be disposed of. The sheer number of parts in a drum set makes it a major hassle for a DIY effort.
