Can I leave smaller items like broken stools or lamps in condo bin areas?

Not unless you've cleared it with the MCST. Even small furniture can pile up fast and cause issues for other residents. It's best to use a professional removal service to avoid any complications.

What happens if I dump furniture in condo bin areas?

You'll likely get reported to the condo office, have CCTV footage reviewed to identify your unit, be asked to remove the item immediately, or get billed for professional removal. Some residents even receive fines or official warning letters.

How much does professional junk removal cost in Singapore?

Costs vary by item size and type. Sofas typically cost around SGD 80, appliances around SGD 100, and mattresses around SGD 60. Contact Junk Value SG for accurate quotes based on your specific items.

Bulky Old Sofa Removed By Junk Value SG — **Bulky Junk Sofa Cleared By Junk Value SG**

It's a tale as old as time — or at least as old as soft-closing HDB chute covers. You're moving out, upgrading your living room, or finally saying goodbye to that lumpy 3-seater. So, you drag the sofa down to the condo bin area, give it one final shove… and walk away, problem solved.

Except it isn't.

Within hours, you'll hear from the condo management, or worse, get slapped with a cleanup bill. And yes — you could end up being fined or reported to authorities for illegal dumping.

Why Condo Bin Areas Aren't Dump Zones

Unlike HDB estates where Town Councils offer some structured bulky item disposal support, condos and landed properties are privately managed. That means your Management Corporation Strata Title (MCST) is responsible for waste clearance — and they aren't thrilled to find abandoned couches, fridges, or IKEA wardrobes in the bin area.

What happens next?

You get reported to the condo office.
CCTV footage gets reviewed and your unit is identified.
You're asked to remove the item immediately — or worse, the MCST hires someone and bills you for it.
Some residents even report being fined or receiving official warning letters.

In other words, what seemed like a quick fix becomes an expensive lesson.

It's Not Just Sofas — All Bulky Items Are Covered

Think you can sneak in a broken washing machine? Or quietly leave a busted fan or giant wooden cabinet overnight?

Condo bin areas aren't equipped for:

❌ Refrigerators
❌ Mattresses
❌ Cabinets
❌ TV consoles
❌ Dishwashers
❌ Large shelves
❌ Dismantled bedframes
❌ Spoilt appliances

No matter how "gently" you place them, they don't magically disappear. In fact, you might even find your old junk left out for public shaming — with a note from the MCST taped onto it.

What About Landed Homes?

Same story, different setting. If you live in a landed property, you won't have the Town Council coming to your rescue. You're expected to hire a private disposal company to remove your bulky items. Leaving them on the curb can lead to NEA notices, pest issues, or complaints from neighbours.

Here's What to Do Instead

If you live in a condo or landed property and need to dispose of any bulky item, play it safe and smart:

Let's Be Honest — This Isn't the Wild West

Singapore's waste disposal system is highly regulated, and for good reason. Improper dumping not only gets you in trouble, but also creates hazards, pests, and fire risks.

It's also disrespectful. When one unit dumps their bulky junk, it clogs up bin space and creates problems for every other resident who has to tiptoe around your moldy mattress or warped TV console.

Plus, that vintage cabinet you left behind? It's warping in the rain, and your neighbours are whispering.

FAQ About Condo Junk Disposal

Q1: Can I leave smaller items like broken stools or lamps?

A: Not unless you've cleared it with the MCST. Even small furniture can pile up fast.

Q2: Can I ask the movers to dump things at the bin area?

A: Only if your MCST explicitly allows it — which most don't. If your movers leave items behind, you are still responsible.

Q3: What if I donate it?

A: Unless you've arranged for pickup with a proper organization, it's still your responsibility until the item is off your property.
