🚚 Junk or Treasure? What You Should Know Before Messaging a Junk Disposal Service in Singapore
At Junk Value, we receive dozens of messages every week asking:
“Will you buy my old fridge? It’s not working but maybe still has some metal value?”
Just recently, someone texted us at 3am asking if we would buy a short-circuited fridge. When we politely declined and offered a quote for proper removal, he replied,
“Then I’ll pass. I’m looking for metal recyclers.”
This isn’t a rare case — it’s a common misunderstanding about what junk disposal companies actually do.
🛠 Why We Don’t Buy Defective Appliances
Let’s be real: most spoilt fridges, washing machines, and sofas with mold have zero resale value — not even for metal scrap.
Licensed metal recycling yards in Singapore require minimum tonnage
Transport, manpower, and dismantling costs outweigh the value
Some appliances may pose electrical or fire hazards
That’s why free pickup only applies to usable, resellable items — not completely broken ones.
✅ What Junk Value Can Offer Instead
We offer affordable, same-day disposal services anywhere in Singapore, with no hidden costs.
Our services include:
Furniture disposal (sofas, mattresses, tables)
Fridge and washing machine disposal
Bulk junk removal during house moves or renovations
Eco-conscious sorting and recycling where possible

🔄 Still Want to Sell Your Defective Item?
You may try your luck with:
Metal scrap yards (but they don’t do pickups for single items)
Carousell (for parts-only listings — with no guarantee of sale)
Town Council bulky item collection (restrictions apply)
If time, effort, and risk outweigh the reward, it may be better to pay a small fee for proper disposal — and get it off your hands quickly and legally.
