Once soil absorbs rainwater, it becomes extremely dense. A standard planter box filled with wet soil can easily weigh 25–40kg, larger pots may exceed this.
Ceramic pots look delicate but are incredibly heavy. A medium-sized pot alone can weigh 10–20kg, and once filled with soil, the total weight doubles or triples.
Garden Ornaments Are Heavier Than They Look
water features & large terracotta pieces
Many of these exceed 20–50kg per item.
Singapore’s humidity, rain and heat damage outdoor items faster than expected. This leads to large volumes of garden waste such as:
rotting timber planters, rusted outdoor chairs
broken plastic plant stands, mouldy outdoor cushions
cracked pots after long exposure to sun and rain
By the time homeowners decide to clear them, these items are already unstable and unsafe to lift.
leftover soil bags, broken pot, plastic grow trays
timber offcuts, gravel bags, plant roots
damaged décor, old pots replaced during redesign
Garden Waste Is Difficult to Move
Even if the waste isn’t extremely heavy, the main challenge is moving it through tight spaces such as narrow HDB corridors & condo hallways:
lift dimensions
staircases
indoor flooring that needs protection
large pots that cannot tilt through doorframes
