🪜 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
📦 Town councils 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 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.
