Safely Remove a Piano with VanGo
Moving or disposing of a piano is one of the most challenging junk removal tasks Nassau County homeowners face. At VanGo Junk Removal, we’ve handled countless piano removals throughout Long Island and want to share our expertise with you.
Why Piano Removal is Challenging
Pianos present unique challenges:
- Upright pianos weigh 300-500 pounds; grand pianos 500-1,200+ pounds
- They contain fragile internal mechanisms
- They have awkward dimensions and unbalanced weight
- Some retain significant value
- Improper disposal harms the environment
Consider These Options First
Before removal:
- Sell it (even older pianos might have value)
- Donate to Nassau County schools, churches, or community centers
- Gift to family or friends
- Repurpose through creative furniture makers
