"No One Will Collect My Old Sofa"— What You Can Do About It

Tried listing your sofa on Carousell? Contacted your Town Council? WhatsApp-ed a few collectors? If you’ve done all this and still can’t get rid of your old couch, you’re not alone.

In Singapore, hundreds of bulky furniture items go uncollected every week. Here’s why your sofa might be one of them — and what you can do about it.


1. Poor Condition = Instant Rejection

Let’s be real: no one wants to pick up junk. Collectors and buyers alike will turn down sofas that show the following:

  • Torn fabric or cracked leather

  • Sunken cushions or saggy foam

  • Water damage, mould or pet odours

  • Broken frames, missing legs, or peeling laminate

Unless it’s practically new, your used sofa likely won’t qualify for resale or reuse. Check out our sofa disposal page to see what qualifies for collection or recycling.


2. High Labour & Transport Costs

Even if your sofa still looks okay, logistics can kill the deal. Why?

  • Many junk collectors operate solo or in pairs — large sofas need at least two people

  • Condo units or HDB blocks without lift access usually come with extra charges or refusals

  • Hauling bulky furniture requires proper trucks, trolleys, and moving straps most freelancers don’t own

With our residential junk removal services, Junk Value handles the entire job — from dismantling to lifting and disposal — safely and legally.


3. There’s Little to No Demand for Used Sofas

The truth is, very few people in Singapore buy secondhand sofas — especially large or worn-out ones.

Here’s what might still sell:

  • Branded items (IKEA, Castlery, King Koil, etc.)

  • Sofas less than 2 years old

  • Clean, odourless, stain-free, and still structurally sound

But even then, reselling is slow and unreliable. You’re better off using our bulky item disposal services to clear space immediately.


4. Illegal Dumping = Heavy Fines

Don’t leave your old couch at the void deck or staircase landing.

In Singapore, abandoning furniture is illegal dumping — and can result in fines or Town Council complaints. If you're in a pinch, we offer same-day sofa removal for urgent situations.
