When Music Fades: What to Do with an Unwanted Piano
Your piano is taking up valuable space, and you can’t just leave it in your HDB corridor, condo lobby, or landed home driveway. In Singapore, pianos are considered bulky items, requiring proper handling, transport, and disposal.
Don’t wait — here’s how to dispose of your piano safely, legally, and without stress, with the experts at Junk Value handling the heavy lifting for you.
Your piano may have brought music and memories, but now it’s just taking up space. Whether it’s a grand, upright piano or digital keyboard, disposing of one in Singapore isn’t as simple as leaving it by the lift.
Pianos are heavy, bulky, and difficult to manoeveur, often requiring professional handling to avoid injury or damage to your property.
⚠️ Why You Can’t Just Dump a Piano
Improper disposal can lead to:
🚫 Town council fines
🕒 Delays in removal
🔥 Safety hazards for movers and neighbors
Even if it still plays, most pianos cannot be collected as part of free bulky item pickups, and transporting them yourself is risky and logistically challenging.
❓ FAQs About Piano Disposal in Singapore
1. Can I dispose of a piano with the regular HDB bulk waste collection?
You can check with HDB directly to see if they can collect your piano, but due to its size and weight, that may not always be feasible. For a quicker and hassle-free solution, Junk Value offers professional same day piano removal services that handle pick-up, transport, and disposal efficiently.
Costs vary depending on the piano type (upright, digital or organ), size, and location. On average, disposal can range from SGD 150 to SGD 300. Request a quote from a junk removal or piano moving service for accurate pricing.
Professional services usually handle dismantling, moving, and disposal safely. Attempting to dismantle a piano yourself can be risky due to its weight and delicate parts.
Parts of the piano, such as metal strings, wood, and cast iron frames, can often be recycled. Recyclers typically separate recyclable materials from general waste.
Most professional services can schedule a pick-up within 1–3 days, depending on availability. The removal itself usually takes 1–2 hours, depending on size and location.
If your piano is still playable, you may consider selling, donating, or giving it away. Pianos may be difficult to sell due to size and transport logistics. Disposal services remain a convenient option if resale is not feasible.
💡 Your Best Piano Disposal Options in Singapore
1️⃣ Book a professional junk removal service (like Junk Value) — we handle dismantling, lifting, transport, and responsible recycling.
