Got an old fridge taking up space and driving you crazy? You're definitely not alone. Refrigerator disposal is one of the biggest headaches Singapore residents face, especially when you're moving house or upgrading appliances. Whether your fridge has given up the ghost, is leaking all over your kitchen floor, or just doesn't fit your new place, getting rid of it properly doesn't have to be a nightmare.
Fridges aren't like regular garbage you can just toss down the chute. These bulky beasts weigh anywhere from 50-150kg, won't fit through most doorways easily, and contain materials that need special handling. Plus, Singapore has strict rules about where and how you can dispose of large appliances.
Many people think they can just dump their old fridge at the void deck or corridor, but that's actually illegal and can land you with hefty fines up to $10,000. Nobody wants that kind of expensive surprise!
If you live in an HDB flat, you've got some options through your town council. Many offer bulky item collection services, sometimes even for free (usually limited to 3 items per month). Sounds great, right?
The catch is:
They often won't handle fridges with refrigerant gas issues
You need to book well in advance (sometimes weeks of waiting)
You have to move the fridge to their designated pickup spot yourself
They won't come into your flat to get it
So if your fridge is stuck in a tight kitchen or you live on the 15th floor with no working lift, you might be out of luck.
Private residences have it tougher. Most condo management won't allow bulky appliances near the rubbish area, and you definitely can't use the chute. Landed property owners are completely on their own for disposal arrangements.
This is where professional junk removal services become your best friend.
The Honest Truth About Secondhand Fridges
Before you think about disposal, consider if your fridge might still have value. Used appliance buyers do exist, but they're extremely picky. Your fridge needs to be:
Still cooling properly and efficiently
Under 5 years old (preferably under 3 years)
Clean, rust-free, and odor-free
A popular brand and model
If your fridge is faulty, over 5 years old, or has that funky smell that won't go away, it's probably time to admit it's junk and move on to proper disposal.
Instead of struggling with town council bookings, trying to find buyers for your broken appliance, or risking fines from improper disposal, professional removal is often the most convenient and affordable solution.
