Living in a condo has perks — security, amenities, convenience — but disposing of bulky or unwanted junk? That’s another story. Narrow corridors, shared elevators, and strict building rules make clearing out old furniture, appliances, or electronics tricky.
Here’s the reality: in Singapore, condo junk removal isn’t just about lifting and hauling. You need to follow building rules, arrange lifts, protect floors, and work around restricted disposal days. Ignoring these rules can even lead to MCST warnings or fines — which is why so many residents call us for urgent same-day removal.
Why Condo Junk Disposal Can Be Tricky
Condo living comes with unique hurdles:
No convenient bins: Unlike HDBs or some landed properties, many condos don’t provide dedicated bulky-item bins. Attempting to leave items in the bin room can result in MCST warnings, fines, or removal orders.
Lift & corridor restrictions: Elevators are shared spaces. Many condos require lift padding or floor protection before moving bulky items.
MSCT & condo management rules: Most condos specify restricted days and timings for moving bulky items. Weekend or evening moves may not be allowed.
Heavy and awkward items: Sofas, mattresses, fridges, and large appliances often cannot fit in elevators without careful handling.
Trying to dispose of junk yourself without knowing the rules can lead to injury, property damage, or fines, which is why professional residential condo junk removal is often the safest choice.
Real-Life Example: Urgent Same-Day Removals
