Clearing Old Plates and Cups Doesn’t Have to Be Messy — We Handle It Safely

Clearing Old Kitchenware? Click Here!

Broken plates, chipped cups, cracked bowls — every home eventually accumulates old crockery that’s no longer safe or pleasant to use. When it’s time to clear them out, many people in Singapore realise one thing quickly: disposing plates and cups isn’t as simple as tossing them into the bin.

Clearing old plates and cups doesn’t have to be stressful or dangerous. With the right approach — or the right help — it can be done safely and responsibly.

Old Crockery Disposal - Junk Value Recycling Singapore

Why Clearing Old Plates and Cups Are Tricky

Unlike paper or plastic, most household crockery is made from ceramic, porcelain, glass, or stoneware.

These materials:

• Do not belong in regular recycling bins

• Can shatter easily during handling

• Pose a high risk of cuts and injuries

In Singapore, broken crockery should never be left at void decks or tossed loosely into rubbish chutes. Improper disposal can endanger cleaners, neighbours, and waste handlers.

Common Situations Where Crockery Builds Up

Many of our customers contact us when they are:

• Moving house or downsizing

• Clearing out a parent’s or relative’s home

• Renovating kitchens or dining areas

• Closing cafés, restaurants, or pantries

• Replacing old or mismatched dinnerware sets

What starts as “just a few plates” often turns into multiple heavy boxes of fragile items.

Can Plates and Cups Be Recycled in Singapore?

This is a common question — and the answer surprises many people.

• Ceramic and porcelain plates and cups are not recyclable through household recycling bins

• Glass cups may be recyclable, but only if clean, unbroken, and accepted by specific recycling streams

• Mixed or broken items usually require general waste or professional disposal

Because of this, attempting DIY disposal often leads to confusion, repeated trips to bin centres, or unsafe handling.

Why DIY Disposal Can Be Risky

Trying to clear old plates and cups yourself may seem straightforward, but it comes with risks:

• Cuts from sharp shards hidden in bags

• Overloaded trash bags tearing mid-lift

• Injuries while carrying heavy boxes downstairs

• Improper disposal that creates hazards for others

For larger quantities — especially during house clearance — DIY disposal often causes more stress than expected.
