Disclaimer: We are not affiliated with “free disposal” companies. We offer honest, legal and accountable junk removal services across Singapore
You may have heard about “free” services from Town Councils or companies claiming zero-cost removal. Here’s the truth:
Town Council: Only HDB residents qualify — max 3–5 items/month
They don’t handle dismantling, stairs, or oversized furniture
You need to book 1–2 weeks in advance
Items must be brought down to the lift lobby
💬 Many “free” disposal services online will quote $0 — but show up and say:
"Oh, it's too big / heavy / no lift — extra charge."
👉 Always request full details upfront. At Junk Value, our quotes include manpower, truck, parking, and legal disposal.
Bulky Furniture Disposal Tips For Private Homes
If you live in a condo, your MCST doesn’t cover furniture removal. You’ll need:
Approval to move large items
To book elevators during off-peak hours
External movers or junk disposal companies
Adhering to condo MCST rules
Moving items from any floor
Sending photos of your items helps your disposal team:
Assess the size and weight
Plan for stairs or tight corridors
A “sofa” can mean anything from a 2-seater to a 5-piece recliner set. A quick WhatsApp photo avoids any disputes or quote changes on the spot.
Here's an important and often overlooked bulky furniture disposal tip. We get it — many people call the day before they move. But same-day or urgent bookings:
Are subject to availability
Often require overtime labour (especially weekends or nights)
Planning ahead saves money and stress. Most clients who book at least 3–5 days ahead get the best rates.
This one’s hard to hear — but true:
Charities now reject most secondhand furniture due to hygiene and storage limits
Buyers want brand-name, nearly-new pieces with full dimensions and delivery options
Your beloved old set is likely not worth the logistics to anyone else
At Junk Value, we assess every piece for recycling or resale only when feasible. Otherwise, we dispose of it responsibly at NEA-approved sites.
A customer in Bishan tried to donate a 6-year-old L-shaped fabric sofa:
Multiple charities declined due to stains and size
Buyer platforms (Carousell, FB) had no interest for 3 weeks
Condo gave 3 days' notice to clear before penalty
We cleared it the next morning — 3 flights of stairs, dismantled, disposed.
✔️ Know your property type (HDB, condo, or landed)
✔️ Check if your item fits Town Council guidelines
✔️ Take clear photos
✔️ Don’t wait till the last minute
✔️ Be realistic about value — disposal may be your only option
Avoid awkward surprises, delays, or hidden fees. Our team at Junk Value:
Gives clear quotes upfront
Coordinates with your condo or landlord
Handles the heavy lifting
Recycles what we can, dumps what we must
