We will do our best to gift your piano to a local family if your piano still works and holds a tune. If a home cannot be found, the metal from your piano will be responsibly recycled and the wood will be upcycled for various creative projects.

When pianos no longer work or we are not able to place them in homes or schools, we responsibly recycle the metal and upcycle the wood.
Here are some pictures of that process:
Donovan, an independent contractor that we call a "KEY PARTNER", shows how he removes pins from the recycled pianos...
