What happens to disposed furniture?

Professional disposal services sort items for recycling, donation (if in good condition), or responsible disposal at licensed facilities. Materials like wood and metal are typically recycled rather than sent to landfills.

Can I dispose of furniture without buying new furniture from IKEA?

Yes, IKEA's removal service is only available when purchasing new furniture from them. However, you can use HDB town council's free service (if eligible), hire professional disposal services, or sell/donate your furniture independently.

Are there any items that cannot be disposed of through regular services?

Most services do not handle hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, or explosives. Items too large to fit through lifts or requiring wall/ceiling dismounting may also be excluded or incur additional charges.

What are the penalties for illegal furniture dumping in Singapore?

Illegal dumping in Singapore can result in fines of up to $50,000 or imprisonment for up to 12 months for first-time offenders. Second and subsequent convictions can lead to fines up to $10,000 and imprisonment for up to three months for bulky waste disposal violations.

How many bulky items can HDB residents dispose of for free?

HDB town councils typically allow residents to dispose of up to 2-3 bulky items per month for free. You must contact your town council at least three working days in advance to schedule a collection, and items must be disassembled and placed outside your unit on the removal day.
