I would say this is OT, but it would definitely improve our home.
I guess I could pay someone to take it to the dump for me. Upright. I used to think about harvesting the wood from them, but it seems like a chore. And this was always a cheap piano, so I suspect the wood isn't that great anyway. It's a horrible piano, my wife got it from a relative.

Post it in the local online classifieds in the "free" section. If was a decent piano, and it sounds like it's not, then I would suggest checking with a piano technician in your area to see if he/she knows anyone looking for a piano.

I met a guy once that took all the pianos he could get- salvaged the wood and recycled the metal. Craig's list free.

If it's really old, it might have ivory keys. They are worth a small fortune as they are.

Sit out by the curb with a sign that says $150. Someone will steal it.
Seriously, give it to the Restore. They may even pick it up.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

CL free section or harvest materials recycle rest. I had one once it went down the stairs with a good shove and then I pulled the panels I wanted and dumped the rest. There isn't a day here on CL you can't find 5 being offered up on CL.

I have an old upright I really enjoy and I could use another one for the office. Pay the shipping and you got a deal.

this thing sounds tinny and can't be tuned. It might be fun. I think it was kept at the relative's cabin, but we were never invited to the cabin so I don't know for sure
I'm pretty sure it has ivory keys, didn't every piano have ivory/ebony at one point? Until the '60's maybe?
