Bulky Item Blues? How to Dump Junk in Singapore Legally

Updated: Jun 27

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.
