Don’t Just Dump It: Junk That’s Costing You More Than You Think

Every week, we see the same thing in Singapore — old sofas left near the lift, broken fridges tucked behind stairwells, and bulky renovation waste dumped at loading bays.

Many residents assume the town council or someone else will magically remove them. But the truth is, dumping junk carelessly can cost you more than you expect — from heavy fines to failed clearance attempts and complaints from neighbours.

Let’s break down what’s really at stake — and how Junk Value can help you dispose of everything legally, efficiently, and without hidden drama.

🚫 The Real Costs of Dumping Junk the Wrong Way

Leaving junk behind “just for a day” can quickly spiral into a bigger issue:

Blocked corridors = angry neighbours and estate complaints
Illegal dumping = NEA fines of up to $2,000
Missed town council collections = junk stuck in common areas
Free collection services = often reject bulky, spoilt or heavy items

If you’ve tried dragging a sofa to the void deck or left a broken washing machine at your lift lobby, you already know—it’s not as simple as dumping it and walking away.

💡 What Counts as “Junk” That’s Costing You?

You might think it’s just an old bed set, but the cost of junk can include:

Time spent waiting for unreliable collection slots
Energy wasted moving items up and down stairs
Money spent fixing issues from illegal disposal
Reputation loss when landlords or buyers visit a cluttered home

And if you’re preparing for a move, rental handover, or renovation? The stakes are even higher.

✅ What Junk Value Does Differently

At Junk Value, we specialize in hard-to-dispose items that most others avoid:

✔️ Bulky Furniture & Large Household Items

From sofa disposal to king-sized beds, wardrobes, and bulky chairs — we dismantle and clear them, even through tight corridors and staircases.

✔️ Heavy Appliances & E-Waste

We handle fridge disposal, spoilt washing machines and dryers, and even old fish tanks or electronics with proper disposal methods.

✔️ Fish Tanks & Pianos

We clear out old pianos, and awkward one-off items like Fish Tanks that don’t fall under standard collection services.

🧹 No Hidden Fees, No Ghosting, No Excuses

You’ve heard the horror stories — movers who disappear last-minute, collectors who raise the price on-site, or “free” services that never show up.
