When you're moving house, upgrading your furniture, or clearing out an estate, getting rid of bulky furniture can quickly turn into a major headache. Whether it's an old wardrobe, a broken sofa bed, or a queen-size mattress, these items don’t fit neatly into a lift—or the legal bin.
So how exactly do you dispose of large household furniture in Singapore without risking fines or wasting precious time?
Let’s break it down.
How to dispose of bulky furniture in Singapore typically include:
Wardrobes and large cabinets
Dining tables and chairs
Basically, if you can’t carry it alone or it won’t fit in a regular bin chute, it’s considered bulky.
If you live in an HDB flat, your Town Council may offer free bulky item removal, usually capped at 3–5 items per month per household. However:
You must book in advance
Items must be left at designated pick-up points
Some councils don’t accept appliances like fridges or washers
You must dismantle larger items
⚠️ Hidden issue: Slots fill up quickly during peak seasons (e.g. year-end cleanups, festive periods), and last-minute requests are usually not accepted.
Need a faster or more flexible solution?
Same or next-day collection
Dismantling and lifting help (even without lift access)
Coverage for condos, landed homes, and commercial spaces
Transparent pricing for bulky or non-functional items
Unlike “free” services that cherry-pick reusable items, Junk Value handles the entire load—whether it’s broken, mismatched, or unsellable.
Popular items we handle:
Antique furniture
Moldy or torn mattresses
Spoilt fridges and washers
Wooden cabinets and display shelves
Some residents try listing bulky items on platforms like Carousell or Facebook Marketplace. But let's be honest—it’s time-consuming, and interest is often low unless your item is:
Nearly new
In excellent working condition
A known, desirable brand
Donation centres may accept used furniture but often reject items with scratches, tears, or stains, and most do not provide transport.
Leaving unwanted items at void decks or common corridors is illegal under Singapore’s Environmental Public Health Act. You could be fined up to $2,000 even for a first offence.
So, unless you want to be featured on Stomp, it's best to follow legal methods of junk disposal.
Here’s a rough breakdown:
Service Type | Cost Estimate |
Town Council (HDB) | Free (limits apply) |
Condo Management | Varies – check rules |
Private Removal (Junk Value) | From $60+ |
DIY Van Rental | $80–$150 + effort |
The convenience, speed, and legality of engaging professionals often outweigh DIY stress.
