Why Dumping Junk In Singapore Isn’t So Simple

Dragging your old mattress, busted sofa, or broken fridge down to the void deck might feel like the fastest way to dump junk in Singapore — but that “quick fix” can easily become a costly mistake.

Whether you’re clearing out after a move or just trying to get rid of bulky furniture, here’s what you need to know before making a dump that backfires.

🚫 Dumping Junk the Wrong Way = Fines, Complaints, and Mess

Many Singapore residents are shocked to find their junk left untouched after days — or worse, reported to the town council for illegal dumping.

Here’s why:

Most town councils only accept 2–3 large items per household per month
Dismantled furniture and oversized pieces are often rejected
Appliances like fridges and washers aren’t accepted at all
Void decks, bin centres, stairwells, and lift lobbies are not legal dumping spots

If you dump your junk in common areas without booking official removal, you may be slapped with fines from NEA — and yes, even writing "Free to Take" won't stop complaints when your junk stays there for days.

Don’t take that risk. Read our Bulky Items Disposal guide to understand what’s actually allowed.

🏠 HDB and Condo Disposal Isn’t the Same

Even within HDB estates, each town council has different rules for what’s allowed. But condo residents face even more restrictions — many developments don’t allow bulky item dumping at all without pre-approval from the management office.

That’s where our dedicated condo junk removal services come in. We liaise with MCSTs, use service lifts when required, and ensure all removal is done discreetly and legally.
