What Happens When You Dump Furniture in Singapore
So, you’ve got a bulky sofa, broken shelf, or old dining table sitting in your flat, and you’re thinking:
“I’ll just leave it at the void deck — someone will take it.”
Think again.
Improper furniture disposal is one of the biggest headaches in Singapore estates. And while it may seem harmless, dumping bulky items without a plan can cost you time, money, and even fines.
Let’s walk through what really happens when you try to dispose of furniture in Singapore the wrong way — and how to do it right with Junk Value.
Trying to give away your used furniture online? Listing it on Carousell or Facebook Marketplace as a “free item for self-collection” rarely works — and here’s why:
People expect like-new condition
They want free delivery and fast replies
Even when it’s junk, they’ll ask: "Any scratches?"
In reality, 9 out of 10 posts go unanswered. Most Singaporeans don’t want your used bulky furniture, especially if it’s damaged, stained, or hard to move.
Many HDB residents assume their Town Council will collect all bulky items.
Not quite.
Most Town Councils:
Only allow 3 to 5 free bulky items per household per month
Do not accept furniture from walk-up flats (no lift access)
Will not collect from private condos or landed homes
Exclude large or dismantled items and appliances like fridges or washers
If you exceed the limit or live in a non-HDB property, you’ll need to arrange disposal yourself.
Some movers advertise cheap disposal — until they get on-site.
That “$20 job” quickly becomes:
$30 for stairs
$20 for dismantling
$30 more for a heavy item
And a $15 transport surcharge
Suddenly, you’re paying $80–$100 just to remove an old shelf or sofa. And worse, you’re dealing with unlicensed teams who may dump it illegally.
Leaving bulky items at the bin centre or lift lobby might seem like a quick fix.
But here’s the truth:
It’s illegal without Town Council approval
You can receive warnings or fines from NEA
Items may sit there for weeks, annoying your neighbours
Your block could be flagged for improper waste disposal
If you care about your community — and your wallet — don’t risk it.
