If you live in Singapore, you know how quickly bulky furniture piles up. That old sofa you replaced, the dining table that won’t fit your new home, or the mattress that’s long past its lifespan — all of it takes up precious space.
But here’s the catch: you can’t just dump bulky items at the void deck. In Singapore, doing so can result in fines. Town councils have strict collection policies, and most will only remove a small number of items per month with advance booking.
For bigger jobs — or when you need it done fast — that’s where Junk Value SG comes in. We specialize in legal, fast, and reliable furniture disposal across Singapore.
Why can’t I just leave my furniture at the void deck?
Leaving bulky items in common areas is illegal in Singapore and can result in fines. Town councils have strict rules for collection, so it’s best to use a licensed disposal service like Junk Value SG.
What types of furniture require professional disposal?
Items like sofas, beds, wardrobes, massage chairs, pianos, and hospital beds are considered bulky and require professional handling for legal and safe disposal.
Unlike small household waste, bulky furniture comes with rules:
Town Council Limits – Most town councils only allow 1–3 free bulky items per month per household, and you must book in advance. Anything beyond that may incur extra charges.
Illegal Dumping Penalties – Leaving furniture in common areas like lift lobbies or void decks is considered fly-tipping, which carries fines of up to $2,000 for first-time offenders.
Restricted Collection – Town councils usually don’t handle unusual bulky items like massage chairs, fish tanks, pianos, or hospital beds.
This means many Singapore residents are caught off-guard when moving house, renovating, or clearing out old furniture.
Can Junk Value SG handle uncommon items like fish tanks or pianos?
Yes! Our team specializes in removing all types of bulky items, including furniture and unusual pieces like fish tanks, pianos, and hospital beds.
Do I need to disassemble furniture before collection?
Our team can safely disassemble and remove bulky items, saving you time and effort.

What’s the difference between town council collection and private disposal?
Town councils offer limited free collection for 1–3 standard items with advance booking. Private services like Junk Value SG can remove any quantity or type of furniture quickly and legally.
Is it cheaper to sell or donate furniture instead of using a disposal service?
Sometimes, but many charities reject bulky or used items, and selling can take time. Disposal services are faster and ensure legal handling.
