If you've ever searched “free bulky item disposal Singapore” or “free furniture removal,” you're not alone. It's a common assumption—but the truth is, most disposal services in Singapore aren’t actually free (and neither are they always fast or reliable).
At Junk Value, we’re here to set the record straight and offer a transparent, fast, and professional disposal service you can trust.
Many Singaporeans believe the town council or various charities will take in all old furniture and electronics at no cost. But here's what often happens:
Only certain items are accepted under HDB's bulky item collection scheme.
You’re limited to 3 to 5 items per month—and some towns now charge for more.
Charities may reject worn or bulky items, especially large wardrobes, mattresses, or damaged appliances.
There’s no last-minute collection—you’ll need to wait days or even weeks.
That’s where Junk Value steps in.
We offer affordable, same-day disposal for:
Items others often reject due to condition or logistics (stairs, no lift access, tight corridors)
We don’t just remove your items—we help you clear space without the stress.
✔️ Fast Response – Same-day or next-day slots available
✔️ Transparent Pricing – No surprise fees
✔️ Eco-Conscious – Items that can be reused get rehomed or recycled
✔️ No Frills – We handle stairs, parking, and odd-sized items
Q: Is there really a free way to dispose of my bulky furniture in Singapore?
A: For many people, not really. While there are options that seem free, they often come with hidden costs like wasted time, stress, or the risk of a fine. True "free" services usually only apply to very specific circumstances, and they often aren't a practical solution for most homeowners.
Q: What about my HDB Town Council's bulky item removal service? Isn't that free?
A: Yes, HDB Town Councils do provide free bulky item removal for residents, but there are strict rules. They typically only collect a limited number of items per month and have scheduled collection times. They also only serve HDB residents, not those in condos or private estates. It may be "free," but it may not be fast or flexible.
Q: I saw a "free disposal" ad on Carousell/Facebook. What's the catch?
A: The catch is they're not a disposal service—they're a reseller. These groups are only interested in items they can resell for a profit. If your sofa has a stain, your fridge is old, or your wardrobe is scratched, they will almost always ghost you or refuse the item when they see its condition. You're left with the junk and the headache.
Q: Why do professional junk removal companies charge a fee?
A: A professional service charges a fee because they provide a valuable service with a guaranteed outcome. This fee covers:
The manpower and expertise to safely move heavy items.
The logistics of a professional truck, fuel, and time.
The cost of proper and legal disposal, which includes recycling or handling fees at designated facilities.
Your time and peace of mind, saving you from hours of frustration and uncertainty.
A: For a fast, reliable, and stress-free solution, a professional service is the smartest choice. You'll get a clear quote, a confirmed pickup time, and a professional team that handles all the heavy lifting and legal disposal for you. You don't have to worry about rules, unreliable collectors, or getting fined. You just get clear space.
