Dumping a spoilt aircon in Singapore isn’t as easy as leaving it at the corridor or bin chute — and yes, that’s illegal.
Bulky electrical appliances like aircon units must be handled carefully due to:
Environmental regulations (refrigerant gases like R-22 or R-410A are hazardous)
Electrical scrap laws
Town Council restrictions (they often don’t collect aircons)
Improper disposal can result in hefty fines from NEA or Town Councils, especially if units are dumped in shared spaces, HDB common areas, or public green zones.
This is by far the safest and fastest way. Services like Junk Value handle:
Wall-mounted or standalone aircons
HDBs with no lift access
Proper recycling and disposal channels
We bring tools, manpower, and experience.
✅ Good for: Busy homeowners, urgent removals, old units with no resale value.
As mentioned earlier, this is hit-or-miss. You can:
Post on Carousell (“spoilt aircon for parts”)
Contact karung guni men if you already know someone
Call scrap yards (they may offer $5–$15 if it’s relatively modern)
But these buyers often don’t offer dismantling, and some may ghost you if you’re too far or live in a walk-up apartment.
✅ Good for: Mildly faulty aircons, ground-floor homes.
If you’re installing a new aircon, some companies will remove the old unit as part of the service — but always check the fine print. Many charge extra or won’t dispose of non-working units.
✅ Good for: Scheduled upgrades or installations.
At Junk Value, we’ve seen all sorts of aircon-related headaches. Here are a few common ones that derail DIY efforts:
No lift access: Removing an aircon from a 5th-floor HDB walk-up? That's backbreaking work.
Pipes still attached to walls: Some owners don’t realise wall brackets and trunking need proper removal.
Last-minute cancellations: Scrapyard guy promised to come, then didn’t.
Wrong timing: Trying to dispose after 6pm when Town Council or junk services aren’t operating.
That’s why it helps to work with a responsive local team that handles disposal and communication professionally.
We’re not just another junk collector. We’re a locally operated, registered team that understands the real costs, timing, and expectations behind bulky appliance disposal in Singapore.
