Can You Really Sell Your Junk in Singapore?
In Singapore, many people hold onto the hope that their unwanted furniture, electronics, or household items can be sold for a quick buck. After all, why dispose of something that might still have some value? The truth, however, is far more sobering. Most used household items—especially bulky, damaged, or outdated ones—have little to no resale value.
Online marketplaces are filled with listings for old sofas, used wardrobes, and outdated appliances, many of which remain unsold for weeks or even months. The reality is that demand for second-hand bulky items is low, and the cost of moving these items is often more than what a buyer is willing to pay. This leaves many homeowners stuck with junk they can neither sell nor give away. So.. Can You Really Sell Your Junk in Singapore?
You may be able to sell small, working electronics, brand-name items in good condition, or designer furniture that is still in fashion. But even these require good photos, a convincing listing, and often a delivery option to attract buyers. If your item is scratched, dented, torn, or missing parts, chances are it’s not going to sell—even if you list it for free.
Many still rely on the traditional karung guni (rag-and-bone) man to take away their junk. While they play a valuable role in recycling small, high-value items like metals, paper, or electronics, they are not equipped to handle mattresses, large furniture, or heavy appliances. If you've ever wondered why your dismantled bed frame or old fridge is left untouched, that's why.
Junk Value fills the gap between what you wish you could sell and what you need removed. We handle:
Bed frames
Cupboards and wardrobes
Broken appliances
Office and garden waste
We assess each item honestly. If anything can be salvaged or repurposed, we do it responsibly. What can't be saved is dismantled and disposed of properly, with full legal compliance.
Holding onto junk in hopes of selling it later comes with its own cost: lost space, dust, pests, and in some cases, fines if left in public areas. Time is another factor. Every week you spend trying to sell something unsellable is a week you live with clutter.
Dumping items illegally in common areas, void decks, or next to bins is not just irresponsible—it's illegal. The NEA imposes fines, and town councils often pass the cost of removal back to residents. Junk Value provides an efficient alternative that avoids penalties and ensures peace of mind.
Whether you’re moving, downsizing, or just decluttering, Junk Value makes the process quick and painless. We cover all of Singapore, including Clementi, Bukit Batok, Teban Gardens, and Ghim Moh.
💬 Reach out to Junk Value. We’ll dismantle, carry, and properly dump your junk so you won’t have to worry about town council letters, fines, or ghosted buyers.
