How to Declutter Your Home in Singapore (And Where to Dump the Junk)

Feeling overwhelmed by clutter?You’re not alone. In Singapore, tight spaces and fast-paced lifestyles mean junk piles up — fast. Whether you're spring cleaning, moving, or managing a loved one's estate, decluttering isn’t just about tidying — it's about knowing how to sort, sell, and dump things legally.

Here’s your full guide to decluttering in Singapore — with zero stress, zero illegal dumping, and maximum results.

1. Start Room by Room (Don’t Overwhelm Yourself)

Start small:

• The storeroom (your junk HQ)

• The kitchen (expired appliances)

• The bedroom (mattresses, fans, side tables)

Use the Four Piles Rule: Keep, Donate, Sell, Dump
