When it’s time to replace your old mattress, figuring out what to do with the bulky one you’re discarding often becomes the hardest part.
Whether you’re clearing out a single mattress from your HDB flat or removing multiple king-sized sets from a landed property, proper mattress disposal in Singapore requires planning, coordination, and compliance with local waste rules.
At Junk Value SG, we’ve handled thousands of mattress disposals across every housing type — HDBs, condos, serviced apartments, and landed homes. Here’s what you need to know about the process, costs, and safe disposal options for every mattress size.
Mattresses come in all shapes and sizes — and so do the challenges that come with moving them out. Here’s a quick look at the common ones we see daily:
Single and Super Single Mattresses
Typically found in smaller bedrooms or children’s rooms. These are easier to move but often stacked with bed frames or storage bases that require disassembly.
Queen Mattresses
The most common household size in Singapore — slightly bulkier, especially when fitted into tight corridors or HDB lifts. Our team ensures safe manoeuvring through staircases or low-ceiling corridors when required.
King and California King Mattresses
These require additional manpower and coordination. Condominiums often have strict lift or loading-bay restrictions, so we liaise with your management office to schedule removals within building guidelines.
Foldable, Sofa, and Foam Mattresses
Though lighter, they’re usually old and damaged beyond reuse. We bag them to prevent dust or odor transfer during transport.
Different homes have different disposal challenges — and we’ve seen them all.
Most HDBs have small lift lobbies and corridors, which makes mattress manoeuvring tricky. Our crew uses protective coverings to prevent scuffing walls and floors. If your block lacks lift access, stair carry-out charges apply based on floor height and mattress size.We’ll also coordinate with Town Council guidelines if you’ve booked a bulky-item removal slot (for limited free disposals).
Condo managements typically require prior approval for disposal works. Our team submits vehicle details, arranges timing with security, and complies with lift padding or loading-bay access requirements.Mattresses are wrapped before transport to maintain hygiene and prevent damage to shared areas.
Often, multiple mattresses are replaced simultaneously. We provide efficient, batch removals without disrupting other tenants, ideal for short-term leasing properties.
Access may be easier, but the bulk is usually larger. Many landed owners dispose of not just mattresses but also bed frames, headboards, and divans.We dismantle, load, and transport everything in one trip for maximum cost efficiency.
Contrary to popular belief, not all mattresses end up in the landfill. At Junk Value, we prioritise segregation and recycling wherever possible:
Metal springs are separated and sent for metal recovery.
Foam and fabric layers are compacted for recycling or responsible disposal.
Usable mattresses (especially those gently used or in storage) are sent through resale or donation channels whenever feasible.
We partner only with approved landfill and recycling facilities to ensure all disposals are traceable and environmentally compliant. While we are not licensed recyclers ourselves, we ensure that your mattress is never illegally dumped or mishandled.
Improper mattress dumping — especially in common areas or open spaces — can result in fines up to $10,000 under NEA regulations. Beyond penalties, illegally discarded mattresses create fire hazards, pest infestations, and hygiene issues.
Engaging a trusted disposal partner like Junk Value ensures that your bulky items are handled safely, legally, and without causing inconvenience to your neighbours or property managers.

💡 Tips Before Disposal
Before booking your pickup, here are a few quick tips to make the process smoother:
Remove bedding and covers before collection.
Check your lift dimensions for larger mattresses — this helps us prepare suitable manpower.
Inform your condo management if approval is required.
Avoid placing mattresses at common areas — disposal must be scheduled to avoid fines.
Bundle additional items (like bed frames or side tables) in the same trip for cost efficiency.
We also handle bulk mattress disposals for dormitories, hostels, hotels, and serviced apartment operators. Our B2B clients rely on Junk Value for punctual and compliant removals during unit turnovers or furniture upgrades.
If your organisation is replacing mattresses across multiple rooms, our team can coordinate by floor or unit to minimise disruption and downtime.
