Is There Really Free Disposal in Singapore?

Yes — but only for certain situations, usually through HDB or Town Council bulk collection services. Even then, there are strict limitations.

Each town council has its own rules, but most offer 1 free collection per household per month, and only for up to 3 bulky items.

If you:

• Exceed the limit

• Have already used your free slot this month, or

• Need a fast same-day removal

…you’ll need a private bulky item disposal service instead.

What Items Are Usually Accepted for Free Disposal?

Most town councils will collect the following (within limits):

• Old mattresses (1–2 max)

• Wooden bed frames

• Small shelves or tables

• Dismantled furniture

• Lightweight chairs

What’s often rejected?

• Refrigerators

• Washing machines

• Built-in wardrobes

• Large L-shaped sofas

• Electronic waste (TVs, speakers)

• Items that can’t fit into lifts

Town Council won’t help if the item:

• Requires lifting up/down stairs

• Risks damaging common property

• Needs special disposal (e.g., Freon gas, electrical hazards)

The Catch with Free Junk Collection in SG

Even when “free,” disposal comes with conditions:

• Pre-booking required – You must call or submit an online request in advance

• No guarantee on timing – Collection usually happens 3–5 days later

• Strict rules – Items must be clearly labelled and placed at designated collection points (not just outside your unit)

For working adults, families on the move, or last-minute relocations, this isn’t always realistic.

What If You Miss the Free Collection Window?

If you:

• Are moving out in 24–48 hours

• Have more than 3 bulky items

• Need to clear space quickly before renovations

…you’ll likely need a private disposal service.

But here’s the good news — not all paid junk removal is expensive.
