Every Singaporean home has that one sofa — the one that’s too big to move, too stained to sell, and too heavy to ignore.It starts as a “we’ll deal with it later” kind of problem… until you realise moving day is tomorrow.

If you’re wondering how to remove, sell, or dispose of an old sofa in Singapore without fines or frustration — here’s your complete, realistic guide.

**Old Fabric Sofa Removal By Junk Value Recycling**

🛋 Can You Sell an Old Sofa in Singapore?

Let’s start with the question everyone asks:“Can I sell my used sofa online?”

The honest answer: sometimes — but not often.

Most used sofas lose resale value fast because of:

Wear and tear (stains, peeling, or sagging cushions)
Bulky transport costs
Buyers wanting “almost new” furniture only

Still, if your sofa is in decent condition, try:

Carousell — Use clear tags like “used sofa Singapore” or “second-hand couch.”
Facebook Marketplace — Works best for quick local pickups.

💡 Tip: Evening listings (5–9 PM) usually get more views.

If there’s no response after a couple of days — it’s time to move on to disposal before it becomes a bigger problem.

🚚 How to Engage Old Sofa Removal in Singapore

There are three main legal options to junk a sofa in Singapore:

1️⃣ Town Council Bulky Item Collection

For HDB residents, most Town Councils offer free pickup for a limited number of items.
Check your Town Council’s website or call them directly.
Typically, they’ll collect up to 3 bulky items per month (but not all accept large sofas).

2️⃣ NEA-Approved Disposal Companies

Companies like Junk Value SG handle private pickups — perfect for condos, landed homes, or when you need urgent disposal.
We dismantle, remove, and recycle bulky furniture through approved recycling partners.
No waiting, no heavy lifting, no fines.

3️⃣ Donation — Only if It’s in Good Condition

If your sofa is still usable and clean, you can explore:

Pass-It-On SG (for gently used furniture donations)
Salvation Army Singapore (they accept sofas in fair condition)Keep in mind: most donation drives reject torn, mouldy, or sunken sofas due to hygiene and transport issues.

⚠️ Old Sofa Removal Isn't Dumping It At the Void Deck

It might be tempting to drag your sofa downstairs and “leave it for someone else.” But that’s actually considered illegal dumping — and NEA can issue fines of up to $2,000.

Beyond the penalty, it’s also inconsiderate to your neighbours and estate cleaners who must remove it.

A better option? Call a professional junk removal company like Junk Value SG — we make disposal clean, quick, and fully compliant.

♻️ What Happens to After Old Sofa Removal

At Junk Value, every sofa we remove is assessed before disposal:

Reusable materials (wood frames, foam, fabric) are separated for recycling.
Non-recyclables are safely processed through approved waste facilities.
Nothing ends up illegally dumped or burned — we keep your clearance eco-conscious and responsible.

Your peace of mind is part of the service.
