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

These household items seem harmless, but:

They trap dust, mites, and mould
They can’t be donated if stained, torn or musty
Town councils may or may not classify them under bulky item disposal
They’re not recyclable via blue recycling bins due to mixed materials (fabric, rubber, lining)

Can Old Curtains, Carpets 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.
