Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can absolutely recycle guitar strings! Most of these items are made of nickel, brass, stainless steel or other metals. If you’re wondering, “Can I put guitar strings in the recycling bin?” the answer is no, because guitar strings are not accepted by U.S. recycling services. You can, however, take them to a local recycling center.
If for whatever reason you don’t have the means to bring your guitar strings to one of those locations but still need help, you can book a professional junk removal service like LoadUp. We’ll find helpful solutions to not only dispose of your guitar, but make sure any necessary parts are either donated or recycled.
Disposing of old guitars, whether you have an electric guitar or a used acoustic guitar, typically starts with donation. Donating guitars is the easiest and most eco-friendly option. You could, of course, sell your guitar, either to a friend or to a local musical retailer that will purchase it. There, are however, plenty of great uses with recycled guitars, specifically the strings and wood, which can be repurposed into other items. For electric guitars, however, the best place to get these item recycled on your own is by taking them to centers that offer electronic recycling services.
If you’re stumped on how to best recycle your guitar, you can always book an eco-friendly junk removal service like LoadUp can help recycle an unwanted guitar for you. We always try to avoid the landfill by recycling and donating unwanted items.
Yes! We take any kind of used musical equipment you have. We can haul everything from bulky grand pianos to guitars, microphones and more. Plus, the more you add to an order, the more you can save.
In order to disassemble a guitar correctly, start by unscrewing and removing the guitar’s strings. Make sure you hold onto any screws or pins. From there, remove the pickguard and guitar’s neck, followed by the guitar’s body. If you have an electric guitar, this would be where you take a look at any of the necessary parts to either dispose of it or hold on it for later use.
Disassembly can be a tough job no matter what type of used musical instrument you have. You can, however, make it easier on yourself by booking assembly and disassembly services with LoadUp. Our professional can properly disassemble your used guitars with no issues, including acoustic and electric. They’ll also deal with the salvageable parts for donation and recycle any e-waste.
