How to recycle musical instruments

  • Musical instruments come in such a variety of shapes, sizes and materials that they are difficult to recycle. However, some instruments may have metal parts, for instance, which are recyclable with other metals at Recycling Centres.

  • Alternatively, if they are still in good condition, you could sell them or donate them to a charity shop, music group or to an organisation such as Sistema England, who donate orchestral instruments to children in the UK and overseas.
