Ask your hauler
Short answer: Usually a paid haul. Pianos are very heavy, and junk removal crews typically charge $200-$400.
HomeAdvisor lists piano removal at $200-$400. No national dumpster rule specific to pianos was found.
Try to rehome it (piano donation listings), use junk removal, or dismantle it and confirm with your hauler.
No major hauler publishes a specific rule for pianos, so this answer is based on general hauler rules and cost guides. Ask your hauler before you book.
Checked October 2026. Rules change; your hauler's prohibited-items list is the final word.
