Updated: Oct 14
Now you have another problem: How do you dispose of an old broken TV in Singapore without paying unnecessarily or arranging the wrong collection service?
Junk Value Recycling & Disposal provides paid TV and household junk removal across Singapore, particularly for combined furniture, appliance and electronic waste clearances.
ALBA doorstep collection: Free collection of eligible large household appliances, including televisions.
Retailer one-for-one takeback: When a new television is delivered, the retailer must provide free takeback of an unwanted regulated product of the same type under the applicable scheme.
E-waste collection drives: Designated collection events accept televisions and other regulated electronic waste.
Town Council services: HDB residents can check whether their Town Council offers suitable bulky-item removal arrangements.
For official guidance, visit the National Environment Agency's e-waste recycling information.
What If Your Broken TV Is Too Large to Move Yourself?
Large flat-screen televisions can be awkward to carry even when they are relatively thin.
The difficulty increases when a TV has a cracked screen, damaged frame or unstable stand.
Before arranging large television removal in Singapore, check:
The screen size and approximate dimensions
Whether the TV is freestanding or wall-mounted
The location of the television
Doorway and corridor clearance
Lift or staircase access
Whether other bulky items require removal
Do not attempt to carry a damaged large-screen television alone if you cannot handle it safely.
If the screen is shattered, avoid touching exposed glass or damaged internal components.
How Do You Dispose of a Wall-Mounted Broken TV?
Wall-mounted televisions require additional preparation.
First, establish whether the TV is attached to an ordinary wall bracket or integrated into a custom installation.
Check for:
Mounting brackets
Concealed cables
Hard-wired connections
Built-in cabinets surrounding the TV
Restricted access behind the screen
Do not attempt to detach a heavy television from a bracket without suitable assistance.
Junk Value Recycling can assess suitable wall-mounted TV removal arrangements, but specialist electrical work and modifications to fixed installations are not included in ordinary TV disposal.
Inform us in advance if the television remains mounted.
Broken TV Disposal From HDB Flats in Singapore
For HDB residents, free e-waste collection may be the most economical choice for a single broken television.
Check ALBA's collection arrangements and any applicable Town Council services.
If you are clearing an HDB flat before moving or renovation, you may have additional furniture and appliances to remove.
Junk Value Recycling can assess a combined paid collection directly from the unit, subject to access and manpower requirements.
Do not leave a broken television at the void deck or lift lobby unless it is part of an authorised collection arrangement.
Condo TV Disposal – What Should You Check?
Condominium residents should check their MCST's requirements before arranging removal of a large television or several bulky items.
Some developments require service-lift bookings, loading-bay reservations or approved collection hours.
If the TV is wall-mounted, arrange for suitable detachment before the scheduled collection unless the agreed quotation specifically includes that work.
For combined condo junk removal, provide photographs of every item to be collected.
Can You Put a Broken TV in an Ordinary Recycling Bin?
No. Televisions are electronic waste and should be handled through an appropriate e-waste collection arrangement.
Small TVs that fit the specified openings may be accepted at designated e-waste bins, but large televisions should not be left beside collection bins.
Singapore's e-waste programme provides collection options for larger household appliances, including TVs.
If the screen is cracked or the television is severely damaged, describe its condition when arranging collection.
How Much Does Paid TV Disposal Cost in Singapore?
The cost depends on the actual collection requirements.
Important factors include:
Television dimensions and weight
Number of TVs
Whether wall-mount removal is required
Screen condition
Lift or staircase access
Carrying distance
Additional furniture or appliances
Manpower and transportation
For a single broken TV, check free collection options first.
For a complete household clearance, request a combined quotation from Junk Value Recycling.
We provide paid junk removal and disposal services only and do not purchase broken or second-hand televisions.
