You’ve probably heard that Town Councils offer free bulky item disposal. But when you try to book a pickup, you might hear:
Here’s what you need to know before dragging your furniture downstairs or booking a mover.
In Singapore, a bulky item is anything too large to fit into a standard trash bin or chute. Common bulky items include:
Sofas (2-seater, 3-seater, sectional)
Beds, including bedframes and mattresses
Wardrobes, cabinets, and bookcases
Dining tables and full chair sets
Washing machines, refrigerators, and dryers
These items are considered bulky because they require multiple people to move, can’t be bagged or lifted by one person, and take up significant space during transport or disposal.
Not all large items qualify for Town Council bulky collection. Some common items that are often rejected include:
Loose wood panels (often considered renovation debris)
Mirrors or glass panels (breakage risk)
Built-in cabinets or fixtures (classified as renovation waste)
Modular IKEA units in pieces (mistaken for construction trash)
Infested or heavily damaged furniture
Toilet bowls, sinks, and tiles
HDB (Town Council Services)
Usually allows 3–5 bulky items per month per household
No pickups on weekends or public holidays
You must bring items to the lift lobby — no moving service included
Condo MCSTs
Condos typically do not provide bulky item disposal
May restrict moving hours and number of items
Private services like Junk Value handle everything, including liaising with the condo office and managing lift access
