Rates confirmed October 2026.
Disposal prices include property insurance, GST and the disposal fee.
How is an upright pianola priced for disposal?
Disposing of an upright pianola costs $870.
If the mechanism has been removed, it may be assessed as a standard piano depending on its dimensions and access, so send me photos and measurements and I'll tell you which price applies.
What happens to the piano after you take it away?
I recycle what's worth saving and dispose of the rest responsibly.
Is it worth restoring an old piano instead?
Not always: in my experience, disposal is often cheaper than a piano restoration quote that would never break even.
If yours is beyond repair, letting it go is usually the sensible call. If you're replacing it, the Melbourne piano sales and rental folks I recommend are on my homepage.
When the new one is ready, I can move it in too. Moves start at $290 for an upright in the inner suburbs. See every moving rate.
How do I book a piano disposal?
Text me these five things and I'll get back to you within a few hours.

- Location. The suburb or town it's in.
- Preferred date. The day you'd like it removed.
- Steps. How many there are.
- Photos. One of the piano, and one of any tricky access.
Lots of steps or a tight path? Mention it up front.
