Disposal of Old Curtains, Carpets and Rugs in Singapore

When it comes to household junk, curtains, carpets, and rugs often go unnoticed—until you’re renovating, moving house, or doing a major junk clearance. They’re dusty, bulky, and surprisingly hard to get rid of in Singapore. So what’s the proper way to dispose of them legally and quickly?

At Junk Value, we’ve removed more soiled rugs and rolled-up carpets than you can imagine. Whether it’s part of a home decluttering or post-tenancy cleanout, here’s your no-fuss guide to clearing these tricky soft furnishings.

🪜 Why Disposal of Old Curtains, Carpets and Rugs is a Problem in Singapore

These household items seem harmless, but:

• 🧼 They trap dust, mites, and mould

• 🚫 They can’t be donated if stained, torn, or musty

• 📦 Most town councils don’t collect them under bulky item disposal

• ❌ Tossing them in HDB bins = illegal dumping under NEA guidelines

• ♻️ They’re not recyclable via blue recycling bins due to mixed materials (fabric, rubber, lining)

🎁 Can Old Curtains and Rugs Be Sold or Reused?

Let’s be honest—most used curtains and rugs have no resale value, unless:

• They’re unused and still in packaging

• You’re selling designer curtains (Muji, IKEA, Spotlight, etc.)

• They’re clean, matching sets with accessories (rods, tiebacks)

Even then, most buyers in Singapore prefer new items for hygiene reasons. If it’s been on your window or floor, assume it’s junk unless it’s spotless.

❌ Can I Dump Them at the Void Deck?

No, absolutely not. Dumping at void decks is considered illegal in Singapore. You may face:

• 💸 Fines up to $2,000 for illegal disposal

• 📷 CCTV investigation by Town Councils

• 🧹 Complaints from residents or cleaners

Even if you tuck a rolled carpet beside a bin, it’s still considered illegal dumping unless it’s a pre-approved collection.
