Singapore Sofa Removal: Avoid Injury and Fines
Dumping a sofa in Singapore sounds easy — until you're halfway down the corridor, wrestling with dead weight, sweaty frustration, and a neighbour giving you the stink eye. Worse? Leave it in the wrong place and you could face hefty fines for illegal dumping.
So if you're downsizing, moving out, or simply can't stand that saggy old couch anymore, here’s your legal, injury-free, and efficient guide to sofa disposal in Singapore.
📋 1. Check With Your Town Council First
If you're living in an HDB estate, you might be eligible for free bulky item removal — usually 3 to 5 items per month.
But there's fine print:
You must book in advance
Items must be placed at designated collection areas
Oversized sofas may be rejected
Most town councils don’t help with lifting
Still unsure? Check your local HDB guidelines, or skip the waiting and hire a licensed junk hauler like us for a quick fix.
🚫 2. No, You Can’t “Coincidentally Leave It” at the Void Deck
We get this a lot — someone moves out and "happens" to abandon a three-seater next to the lift lobby.
Unfortunately, that’s illegal dumping under Singapore’s Environmental Public Health Act, and NEA fines can go up to $2,000 for first-time offenders.
If you’re moving, don’t leave sofa disposal to the last minute. Book a scheduled pickup at least a day in advance to avoid last-minute stress and penalty fees.
♻️ 3. Use a Licensed and Responsible Junk Removal Company
Hiring a legally compliant, eco-conscious hauler saves time, stress, and risk. At Junk Value, we:
