Why pianos cost more than other furniture

A piano is dense, top-heavy and easy to damage a floor or a stairwell with. It takes more people than a couch and more care getting through a doorway. That labor, not disposal, is most of the price.

Local options

The Town of Beloit's bulky items list includes pianos and organs, dropped at the Beloit Recycling Center on Saturday mornings for $10 (town bulky items page). Everywhere else in the county, a piano is a landfill trip or a hired job. No municipal curbside program we found takes one, and the Orfordville and Town of Janesville bulk pickups are limited to 50 pounds an item.

Donation

Finding a new home for a piano is worth a try, but there is no Habitat ReStore in Rock County, and whether Goodwill takes one is not something we could confirm. If someone does want it, LawnStarter's figure for moving a piano for donation, $250 to $600, is the number to plan around.
