The Piano Disposal Process Explained.
Piano Logistics Manchester takes great care when dismantling and recycling old pianos, meticulously breaking each one down to its core components. Every part — from the cast-iron frame to the timber casing — is separated with precision. Metal is fully recycled, and the wooden parts are converted into briquettes, resulting in less than 1% of the piano being sent to landfill. This environmentally responsible approach is backed by our registration as a top-tier waste carrier with the Environment Agency.
Attempting to dismantle a piano yourself is strongly discouraged. Pianos often weigh over 150 kg and contain high-tension strings, heavy iron frames, and complex internal mechanisms. Without specialist tools and training — such as aluminium ramps, lifting harnesses, grand piano slippers, and years of professional experience — the risks include serious injury, damage to your home, and legal issues around improper disposal. Local waste centres typically won’t accept pianos due to their size and the materials involved, and correct disposal requires proper licensing.
At Piano Logistics Manchester, we offer a complete, stress-free solution. We collect your piano from inside your home, handle all dismantling with safety and care, and recycle as much of the instrument as possible — ensuring less than 1% ends up in landfill. It’s a professional, legal, and eco-conscious service designed to give you total peace of mind.
