Looking to get rid of your old furniture? You've probably heard of “furniture collectors” in Singapore who promise to take your items off your hands—sometimes even for free. But what do they really collect? And is there a catch?

Let’s break it down so you can decide the best way to dump your junk without getting duped.

What Do Furniture Collectors in Singapore Actually Take?

Most furniture collectors are resellers or recyclers—not charity organisations. They look for:

Items in usable or sellable condition
Mid-century or retro-style pieces
Wooden furniture (in good condition)
Designer sofas, solid wood tables, rattan chairs
Certain branded or antique pieces

Items Rarely Collected for Free:

Damaged or worn-out wardrobes
Stained mattresses or sofas
Broken bed frames
Large bulky items with no resale value
Furniture with pests, water damage, or missing parts

So, Is It Really Free?

Short answer: Only if it benefits the collector.

The reality is: Most “free collectors” cherry-pick the good stuff and leave behind the heavy, unsellable junk. Many customers call us after their "free disposal" request was ghosted, or worse—they were asked to pay last-minute.
