Can I dispose of a sofa for free through my HDB Town Council?

Most HDB Town Councils provide free removal of bulky items like sofas, usually limited to 1–3 pieces per month. Extra items or urgent requests may incur a fee or require a professional disposal service.

Are there size or weight limits for sofa disposal under HDB services?

Yes. Very large or sectional sofas may not be accepted under HDB’s free collection scheme. In such cases, you’ll need a licensed bulky disposal provider like Junk Value to handle removal.

Is leaving an old sofa at the void deck allowed in Singapore?

No. Leaving furniture at common areas without approval is illegal dumping under NEA regulations. Offenders can face fines. Always arrange proper collection through Town Councils or disposal companies.

Can old sofas in good condition be donated instead of disposed?

Yes. If your sofa is still in good condition, you can donate it to organisations like The Salvation Army or Pass-It-On. If not accepted, licensed disposal services like Junk Value ensure safe clearance.

Why do professional sofa disposal services in Singapore charge a fee?

Professional services cover manpower, transport, and recycling costs. Licensed providers like Junk Value also ensure compliance with NEA guidelines and offer same-day or scheduled sofa removal.

So… you’ve finally decided that your three-seater leather recliner from 2005 has to go. It’s lumpy, peeling, smells vaguely of Milo, and takes up half your living room. You push it to the lift lobby and walk away like it’s someone else’s problem.

Sound familiar? Well, you’re not alone — and you’re not exactly right either.

Here’s the truth: bulky furniture and appliance disposal in Singapore is not as simple as dragging it to the void deck and hoping the karang guni comes by.

Junk Value's Sofa Disposal Services In Singapore — **Junk Value's Same Day Sofa Disposal Services In Singapore**

Let’s break it down — with humour, insight and a clear solution

Myth #1 : “I can just leave my junk at the common area. Someone will take it.”

Maybe… juuust maybe.. you’ll get a fine from the town council and angry stares from your neighbours.

Bulky items like fridges, mattresses, and giant IKEA wardrobes don’t just disappear. Town councils provide limited, scheduled collections — and they’re not responsible for items from condos, private properties, or commercial spaces.

Myth #2: “Got free disposal services online. I’ll just call them.”

Oh yes — the infamous "free collection services" you see in Carousell or Facebook groups. Spoiler alert: They only want stuff they can resell.

The minute they realise your items are scratched, stained, or don’t have resale value?Poof. Ghosted. You’re back at square one, with a wardrobe in three pieces and no truck.

The Smarter Choice: Professional and Responsible Disposal

In Singapore, bulky furniture disposal isn't a game of chance. Ignoring the rules can lead to fines, while relying on "free" services often leads to wasted time and frustration.

Last week, we helped a customer who had been ghosted by a "free" service, leaving a dismantled wardrobe in their living room. Our team showed up, gave a clear quote, and had the entire mess removed in under an hour.

The truth is, your time and peace of mind are worth more than the gamble of an online sale or a last-minute dump. Professional disposal isn't just about clearing a space—it’s about getting it done safely, legally, and without the hassle.
