When it comes to clearing out bulky furniture in Singapore, most homeowners have the same reaction — “Wah, so expensive just to throw away?”
If you’ve ever received a quote that made you second-guess your spring cleaning plans, you’re not alone. Furniture disposal in Singapore can be surprisingly costly, especially when you don’t know the right channels or what’s included in the price.
In this guide, we’ll break down:
The real cost of furniture disposal in Singapore
Why prices vary so widely
Affordable (and legal) alternatives to dumping
Tips to reduce costs and avoid overpaying
And most importantly — who to call when you need fast, low-cost help.
Furniture disposal prices vary depending on your location, item size, and accessibility. Here’s a practical breakdown based on 2025 averages:
💬 Note: Some HDB Town Councils provide free removal for up to 3 bulky items per month, but this doesn’t cover built-ins, mattresses, or electronics.
For HDB residents, most Town Councils offer free bulky removal for small items like tables or chairs. However, they won’t handle large or multiple loads, dismantling, or same-day requests. You’ll also need to book in advance and move the items to the collection point yourself.
Pros: Free (for small, movable items)
Cons: Slow, limited, not suitable for big furniture
Companies like Junk Value provide full-service disposal — from dismantling, lifting, and loading to proper disposal at NEA-approved facilities. These services are fast, flexible, and ideal for condos, landed homes, or offices.
Pros: Convenient, quick, professional handling
Cons: Paid service — but often cheaper in total effort
Some furniture retailers (e.g., IKEA, FortyTwo, Courts) offer disposal when you purchase a new item. However, this only applies to a one-for-one replacement and doesn’t include unrelated junk.
Pros: Easy if you’re buying new furniture
Cons: Only for similar items; not suitable for house clearing
4. DIY or Freelance Movers (High Risk)
You might find freelance “low-cost movers” online, but be cautious — illegal dumping can lead to fines up to $50,000under NEA regulations. Always ensure your junk collector disposes legally at an approved site.
Pros: Cheap at first glance
Cons: Risk of fines, no accountability, illegal disposal
⚖️ Why Furniture Disposal Costs So Much
Most people don’t realise that the cost includes much more than manpower. Here’s where your money goes:
Disposal fees: NEA-approved facilities charge per tonne.
Transportation: Fuel, ERP, and parking.
Manpower: Lifting heavy items safely requires trained workers.
Sorting & recycling: Some materials (wood, metal, foam) are separated for recycling.
Junk Value cuts costs through efficient routing and load sharing, so you only pay for what you actually dump — no inflated quotes or surprise surcharges.
🪑 What You Can Dispose Of
Junk Value handles almost every type of bulky item:
Sofas, recliners, and couches
Wardrobes, cabinets, and drawers
Bed frames, mattresses, and study tables
Dining sets, bookshelves, and cupboards
Fridges, washing machines, dryers
Built-in carpentry, massage chairs, hospital beds, and more
We dismantle, remove, and dispose of all items safely — even those too large for lifts or corridors.
1. Group items together. - The more you dispose of at once, the cheaper it becomes per item.
2. Dismantle small items yourself. Removing legs or detaching drawers saves time and labour.
3. Book ahead. Avoid last-minute express surcharges by scheduling early.
4. Check for reusable value. If items are still in working condition, consider resale or donation — Junk Value can help assess what’s worth keeping.
5. Choose a local provider. A nearby team reduces travel time and fuel costs.
Illegal dumping in Singapore carries severe penalties. Always ensure your disposal company is licensed and follows NEA-approved processes.
At Junk Value, we:
Transport all junk to approved recycling or landfill sites.
Issue digital disposal confirmations on request.
Recycle usable materials like metal and electronics where possible.
Got a built-in wardrobe or TV console? These require dismantling before removal — a common reason why quotes differ. Junk Value offers carpentry dismantling and disposal at affordable add-on rates. We’ll take care of debris clearing too, so your unit is clean and handover-ready.
For business owners, clearing desks, partitions, or filing cabinets can be time-consuming. Junk Value provides after-hours and weekend disposal for offices, retail outlets, and warehouses — with manpower and dismantling included.
This saves both downtime and cost, especially when moving or renovating.
💬 “Why Pay for Disposal When I Can Just Leave It?”
Many people still try to leave unwanted furniture at void decks or common corridors — but that’s illegal. Town Councils have become strict, and offenders can be fined heavily.
By using a professional junk removal company, you ensure safety, legality, and proper recycling — all while avoiding penalties.
