Disposing of bulky furniture in Singapore isn't as easy as dragging it to the curb.

Whether you're moving house, upgrading your space, or finally clearing out that old storeroom, there are rules, costs, and logistics you need to know before dumping your sofa, bed, or wardrobe.

At Junk Value, we specialize in bulky item disposal — from urgent last-minute clear-outs to large-scale removals in condos and HDBs. Here's what most people don’t realize until it’s too late.

1. “Free” Disposal in Singapore Isn’t Really Free

You’ve probably heard of free collection services, especially from town councils. But the truth? These only apply to HDB flats, often limited to 2–3 items per month, and require advanced booking.

✅ For private residences, condos, or commercial spaces, there's no free service. You're responsible for everything — and illegal dumping can lead to hefty NEA fines.

That’s where Junk Value’s residential junk removal comes in. We offer upfront pricing, no hidden fees, and islandwide coverage with real humans answering your questions — fast.

2. Timing is Everything — Book Early!

Furniture disposal isn’t on-demand like food delivery. Condo managers often require 1–2 days’ notice to reserve lift access or a loading bay slot.

🚫 Many customers call us in a panic the day before moving. Don't be one of them.

We help you plan ahead with proper coordination — whether you're in an HDB, walk-up, or a strict condominium with security procedures. Learn more about our condo junk removal services.

3. Staircase & Lift Access Affect Your Quote

That bulky king-sized bedframe might seem simple — until it doesn’t fit into the lift. Staircase carries take more time and labor, which adds to your cost.

We ask about stairs, lift dimensions, and access early on so there's no miscommunication on the day.

4. Parking Rules = Disposal Delays

Singapore buildings are notorious for tight parking, restricted loading zones, or paid access. If our team can’t park near your unit, it slows down the job and may increase the cost.

We advise all customers to pre-arrange loading bay access or inform building security in advance. It keeps things smooth — and keeps your movers happy too.

5. What You’re Dumping Might Be Recyclable — or Not

We always try to rehome or recycle usable items. But that moldy old sofa or termite-infested cabinet? It’s junk, not treasure.

We sort everything fairly. Clean, working items might be reused — but heavily damaged pieces go straight to disposal. And no, “just take everything” doesn't make it cheaper.
