Why Residents Need to Dump Broken Shelves in Singapore

Broken shelves and cabinets take up space and can become unsafe if they collapse or lean against walls.

Many HDB and condo residents also face tight living areas, making quick disposal important.However, bulky junk disposal in Singapore is not always straightforward, especially when the item is too large for the lift or cannot be left at common areas.

Use HDB’s Bulky Item Removal To Dump Broken Shelves

Before arranging paid disposal, you can check whether your HDB town council offers free bulky item removal. But there are limitations:

• Only certain towns allow a few items per month.

• Not all wooden cabinets or large shelves are accepted, especially if they exceed size limits.

• They must be placed at designated lift lobbies or collection points, and residents must follow timing rules.

Because of these restrictions, residents may need a disposal service when they have multiple bulky pieces or extremely heavy furniture.
