Moving in Singapore can be stressful — whether you’re shifting to a new HDB flat, upgrading to a condo, or downsizing. One major challenge? Bulky junk disposal. From old sofas and bed frames to broken appliances, these items pile up quickly.
If not planned properly, leftover junk can delay your move, cost you more in moving fees, or even lead to HDB fines. This guide covers practical decluttering strategies, disposal options in Singapore, and when to call a professional bulky item disposal service.
Save on packing and transport costs
Create more usable space in your new home
Ensure a smooth HDB/condo handover
Begin decluttering storage areas first (storerooms, bomb shelters, spare rooms). These often hide forgotten items like unused luggage, broken fans, or old electronics.
👉 Tip: Sort items into categories: Keep, Sell, Donate, Dispose.
Sofas
Bed frames & mattresses
Wardrobes
Study desks & shelves
Appliances are tricky because they require special handling. Movers won’t dispose of:
Fridges
Washing machines & dryers
Fish tanks
💡 Search Keyword Tip: For “fridge disposal Singapore” and “washing machine disposal Singapore”, book with a licensed junk disposal service.
Town Council vs Private Junk Disposal Services
HDB Town Councils usually allow up to 3 bulky items per month, but:
Appliances are excluded
Not suitable for urgent disposals
Collection times are limited
Private Junk Disposal (like Junk Value SG):
Flexible scheduling
Fast & legal disposal
If your items are still usable:
Try listing on Carousell, Facebook Marketplace, or Telegram groups at least 2–3 weeks in advance.
Donate to charities like Salvation Army (collection slots limited).
Use recycling points for small electronics (e.g. e-waste bins at malls).
⚠️ Most bulky items listed online don’t sell — buyers often ghost or can’t arrange transport. If your listing doesn’t move in a week, it’s smarter to book disposal.
Some items require special handling due to weight or fragility:
Piano disposal in Singapore
Aquarium/fish tank disposal
Oversized wardrobes or storage beds
Professional junk removal teams provide manpower, equipment, and safe handling so you avoid damage to your unit or fines during handover.

Q: Can I leave bulky junk at the void deck or bin centre?
No — illegal dumping can lead to fines of up to $2,000 in Singapore. Always use town council or licensed disposal services.
Prices range from $50 – $150 depending on size, urgency, and item type. Licensed services provide upfront quotes.
