Singaporeans love IKEA. From the MALM bedframes to the BILLY bookcases, IKEA furniture is affordable, stylish, and practical. But when it comes time to move house, upgrade, or dispose of broken flat-pack pieces, many homeowners quickly discover a challenge:
👉 How do you get rid of bulky IKEA furniture legally and quickly in Singapore?
Disposal isn’t as simple as leaving items at the void deck or corridor (illegal dumping fines can be as high as $2,000 under NEA regulations). That’s where licensed junk removal services like Junk Value Recycling step in.
Flat-Pack Fragility – IKEA furniture isn’t designed for multiple moves. Dismantling can damage parts, making resale or donation difficult.
Bulky Sizes – Wardrobes, sofas, and tables often don’t fit into lifts or standard disposal chutes.
Illegal Dumping – Leaving IKEA furniture in common areas is against HDB and condo by-laws.
Time Pressure – Movers may refuse to handle bulky furniture disposal, leaving you stuck last-minute.
1. Town Council / HDB Removal Services
For HDB flats, Town Councils usually offer free removal of up to 3 bulky items per month.
However, services must be booked in advance and only apply to non-commercial waste.
Selected IKEA outlets in Singapore have recycling stations for small items.
Large furniture disposal isn’t covered — you’ll still need a disposal service.
3. Licensed Junk Removal Companies
Companies like Junk Value Recycling handle full dismantling, heavy lifting, and transport.
Disposal is done at NEA-approved facilities, ensuring safe and legal compliance.

💡 Tip: Booking early and grouping items for disposal can lower costs.
Carousell / Facebook Marketplace – Reselling is an option, but many buyers avoid used IKEA items due to wear and tear.
Donation – Some charities accept sturdy furniture, but IKEA flat-packs often don’t survive dismantling/reassembly.
Upcycling – Creative DIY projects can give old pieces new life, but require time and tools.
👉 If time is tight or items are badly worn, professional disposal is the most reliable solution.
