In Singapore, it’s becoming more common for people to label their old, bulky furniture as “donations” in hopes of avoiding disposal costs. From stained sofas to broken wardrobes, these items are often too damaged, outdated, or simply unsellable.
Let’s be honest — most NGOs and charities do not accept heavily used or damaged furniture, and no one wants a cracked TV console that’s seen better days. Labelling these items as “donations” doesn’t magically make them useful. So.... Donate or Dump?
At Junk Value, we get it. Disposing of large items isn’t always cheap — but what we don’t offer is free disposal disguised as charitable collection.
We’re transparent from the start:
📌 No ghosting after we send a quote
We provide affordable, same-day disposal of old and bulky furniture anywhere in Singapore, but we do it honestly — no bait-and-switch.
Instead of waiting weeks for unreliable “free collection,” here’s what Junk Value offers:
Full transparency — no surprise charges
Proper disposal or recycling
Don't risk fines from leaving furniture in HDB corridors or common areas. Dispose responsibly, without long wait lists for a charity to pick up
Cracked or broken furniture
Mouldy or termite-ridden items
Non-functioning electronics unless arranged
DIY disassemblies with missing parts
These cost us time, manpower, and disposal fees — and like all small businesses, we have bills too.
Think your bulky item still has value? Great — let’s talk. But if it’s really just ready for disposal, we’ll handle it quickly and affordably.
✅ Transparent quotes
✅ Real humans to talk to
✅ No bait-and-switch pricing
✅ All bulky furniture, electronics, and junk handled properly

Q1. How can I tell if my furniture is truly "donatable" or just junk?
A1: A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself, "Would I be happy to receive this as a gift?" Donatable items are typically in good, usable condition—no major stains, tears, broken parts, or signs of mold or termites. If the item is heavily worn, wobbly, or has structural damage, it’s best categorized as junk for responsible disposal, not donation.
Q2. Why are donation centers so selective about what they accept?
A2. Donation centers often operate with limited space and resources. They need items they can immediately give away or sell to fund their programs. When they receive broken or soiled items, it costs them time, money, and manpower to haul away and dispose of the junk, which takes away from their charitable mission.
Q3. What happens if I leave "donatable" furniture at a void deck or common area?
A3: Leaving any furniture in public spaces, even with a "free to take" sign, is considered illegal dumping in Singapore. You risk fines and penalties from local authorities. It's always safest to book a proper disposal service to ensure your items are removed legally and without risk to you.
A4: While we don't handle donations, our primary goal is responsible disposal. Our service provides a clean, stress-free alternative to illegal dumping. We also work with recycling partners to ensure that materials like wood and metal from your unwanted items are recycled properly, giving them a new life and reducing waste.
A5: Many online "free" services come with a catch. They may be unreliable, fail to show up on time, or reject your items at the last minute if they're not in perfect condition. Hiring a professional service guarantees a scheduled pickup, a professional crew, and peace of mind that your items are disposed of legally and efficiently. It's a small fee to avoid a huge hassle.
A6: We believe in full transparency. Simply take a few photos of the items you need to dispose of and send them to us via WhatsApp. Our team will provide an instant, all-inclusive quote that covers transport, labor, and proper disposal fees, so you will never be hit with hidden charges or a surprise increase on the day of pickup
