Bulky Trash Removal, Mechanicsburg
Bulky Item and Trash Removal
When heavy items in the house require removal, most times the sheer bulk and weight of them is a huge challenge to their owners. Their removal is likely due to them being replaced, or they are broken and no longer needed. Whichever the case is, we would like to look at how to tackle this difficult task.
At Rubbish Removal Mechanicsburg we are often called to assist with the removal and disposal of bulky items. Three of the most common are:
A Piano
A Hot tub
A large couch
Most homeowners can’t and shouldn’t try to move them themselves. They require a big enough vehicle for transport, and often don’t know how to dispose of them. We can do all of that for you, and it’s a job our team are trained to do quickly and efficiently.
We can give some useful tips to help you when thinking of disposing of any of them.
Challenges in Moving a Piano
Moving a piano is for professionals only. The reason being is that it’s a specialist musical instrument that is very heavy and can easily be damaged when moved. It has thin legs with small wheels designed only to move it a few inches within the room, and not any further.
The first consideration when moving a piano is its shape. Grand pianos are wide and have an awkward shape. Upright pianos are bottom heavy. Both represent lots of problems when moving out of confined spaces, loading and transporting.
Care must be exercised as the piano is expensive. Proper moving equipment like skids or dollies are best for moving a piano, while any bumps on the surface it’s moved on can damage the spindly legs.
A crew of at least 4 strong people are required to move the piano. Care must be taken that the piano doesn’t tip and when loaded onto the vehicle it must be securely strapped and placed deep in the truck.
We as professionals take the emotion out of moving such a valuable musical instrument, and we know owners become overly attached to them. So, we save them from all the trauma of having to remove it.
By wrapping in blankets, a professional mover also protects the piano from getting scratched, and the inside workings protected by stuffing a blanket under the lid, which should also be locked in the move.
The driver must be experienced, as a heavy, odd shaped object such asa piano could move during transportation causing damage.
The best tip of all is to use a professional removal company like ours, and not to try moving it yourself.
Hot Tub Removal Guidelines
Many households are in the fortunate position of having a hot tub that can be used to relax in after work or on weekends. However, replacing them when they get old or moving them out when they are no longer needed is an exceedingly difficult job.
This is because hot tubs are exceptionally large and unwieldy and can weigh up to 900 pounds. Not only that, their shape makes them difficult to handle, and get them out of the space that they occupy, let alone to load on a vehicle.
Therefore, it’s best to call in a professional company to do your hot tub removal. At Rubbish Removal Mechanicsburg our team knows how to do a bulky item disposal and we as a locally based removal company, can move your hot tub quickly and easily.
