Old sofa? Broken fridge? Wobbly bed frame?If you live in a condo, chances are your first instinct is to leave that bulky junk at the condo’s bin centre and hope it “goes away.”
But here’s what really happens:The MCST finds it, they trace it to your unit — and they order you to remove it ASAP.
If you’re lucky, it’s a polite reminder. If not, it’s a formal warning, a charge for private removal, or even a facility ban.
Let’s break down why dumping bulky junk at your condo bin centre doesn’t work, and how to dispose of large items legally in Singapore.
Most bin centres in condos are designed for household waste only — trash bags, recyclables, maybe some cardboard.
But sofas, mattresses, wardrobes, fridges? That’s bulky junk — and they’re:
Too large for scheduled disposal
Not cleared by your cleaner or MCST vendor
A fire hazard, obstruction, or safety risk
Visually unpleasant for residents and guests
So when you leave bulky junk at the bin centre, the MCST has no choice but to intervene — and it almost always leads back to you.
HDB flats are serviced by Town Councils that allow free bulky item removal monthly (up to 3–5 pieces).
But if you live in a condo or landed home, you’re on private property — and you’re responsible for arranging your own bulky junk disposal.
Dumping it at the bin centre doesn’t shift the responsibility — it just delays the problem (and possibly creates new ones).
If you dump bulky junk at the condo bin centre, your MCST can:
Trace the unit via CCTV or cleaner report
Issue written warnings or circulars
Charge you for special removal services
Restrict your access to common facilities
Report repeat offences to authorities
Some condos also post photos of dumped items and ask, “Whose is this?” in Telegram or WhatsApp groups — not fun.
Residents sometimes try to drag junk over to nearby public bin centres or HDB blocks. That’s illegal dumping.
Under Singapore's Environmental Public Health Act, illegal disposal can attract fines of up to $10,000.
Even if you leave the item “neatly,” it’s still an offence — and residents do report suspicious dumping.
If you're in a private condo, here's how to handle bulky junk the right way:
✅ Step 1: Contact a Condo-Savvy Disposal Team
At Junk Value, we work directly with MCST rules and understand condo policies. No delays or gate dramas.
✅ Step 2: Coordinate Access & Lift Booking
We assist with lift padding bookings, loading bay timing, and clearance logistics.
✅ Step 3: Dispose Legally and Cleanly
We remove, dismantle, and dump your bulky junk at licensed NEA-approved facilities — never at random bin centres.
