Upright piano: ⅛–¼ load ($279–$399) depending on access · grand pianos quoted — GST and all tip fees included. Picked up from inside your home, recycled or reused, recovery report on every job.
An old upright piano weighs 200–300 kg, is awkward to move and almost impossible to give away. Junkbird removes unwanted pianos from the lounge room, carries them out with the right equipment, and disposes of them responsibly — cast-iron frames and strings to metal recovery, timber to recycling.
An upright piano on the ground floor is priced as a ⅛ load ($279); with stairs, a long carry or a bulky older model it is a ¼ load ($399). GST, the heavy-item handling and all tip fees are included. Baby grands and grand pianos are quoted after a photo. If the piano is part of a bigger clear-out it simply joins the load. Get the exact price from the online quote or a photo to 1800 418 662.
Honestly, usually not. Most unwanted pianos are decades past tuning and charities and schools rarely accept them. If yours is a playable, recent instrument we will say so — but for the typical inherited upright, responsible disposal is the realistic option, and we do it without pretending otherwise.
Two crew, a piano trolley and straps, floor protection through the house, and legs or castors removed where that helps. Tell us about stairs, lifts, carpet and the width of doors and hallways when booking so the crew arrives set up for it.
Pick a load size — from ⅛ of our 4.5-tonne truck up to a full 10 m³ — or tick your items. The price shows instantly in the online quote, and it is one national list for the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Sydney. If your items add up to more than a load, we automatically charge the cheaper load price.
Yes. Stairs and lifts are handled by two crew with a piano trolley; access is priced at the ¼-load rate and confirmed before you book.
Yes. Electric pianos and keyboards are e-waste and priced as a single item ($120 minimum); electronic organs are priced like an upright.
It is broken down: the cast-iron frame, strings and hardware go to metal recovery, the timber case to timber recycling. Your recovery report shows the streams.
Often — book before 11am. Next-day is standard.
