Not sure what qualifies? In Singapore, bulky junk refers to items too large to fit in a standard bin or lift. Common examples include:
Sofas and sectionals
Mattresses and bed frames
Wardrobes and cupboards
Dining tables and bulky chairs
Refrigerators and washing machines
Broken bookshelves or wall-mounted cabinets
If it’s heavy, awkward, or won’t fit in a lift, it’s bulky.
Leaving bulky junk at HDB void decks or stairwells without permission is not only inconsiderate—it's illegal. Many town councils will issue fines up to $2,000 for illegal dumping.
Common illegal disposal scenarios:
Leaving furniture outside your flat overnight
Placing broken items near rubbish chutes
Abandoning items during a move-out
Pro Tip: Always check with your local town council or use a licensed junk removal provider like Junk Value.
HDB residents may be entitled to 1 to 3 free bulky item removals per month. But this comes with conditions:
Collection must be pre-booked
Items must be moved to designated pickup points
No dismantling or removal from inside your home
Limited to 3 pieces per month (non-renewable)
Rejected Items:
Built-in furniture
Renovation debris
Electronic waste
If your items don’t qualify, town council services won’t be able to assist.
