Your once-beloved furniture has survived years of movie nights, family visits, and the occasional food spill. Now it’s worn out, sagging, or simply doesn’t fit in your new home.
So… what now?
In Singapore, furniture doesn’t just vanish once it leaves your flat. Here’s what really happens — and how Junk Value helps you dump it fast, legally, and responsibly.
🛋️ Your Furniture Probably Isn’t Donation-Worthy
Many people hope to donate old furniture in Singapore — but most used furniture get rejected. Why?
Too worn or dirty: Stains, sagging seats, broken legs — even light damage is enough for charities to say no.
Bulky size: Most non-profits have no space for large items like sofas or bed frames.
No transport: Even if someone wants it, they rarely have a way to collect it. You’ll end up ghosted or lowballed on resale apps.
If you’ve already tried selling or giving away furniture online, you know it’s a time-waster.
HDB residents can request a limited number of free bulky item disposals via their Town Council — usually capped at 3 to 5 pieces per month. But:
They may not take items other than what was agreed upon or very large items.
They don’t enter your home — items must be placed outside.
Condo and landed property owners aren’t eligible.
So if you live in a walk-up apartment, condo, or private home? You’re on your own.

A1: Some Town Councils in Singapore provide free monthly bulky item removal, but it’s limited to a fixed number of pieces and may exclude oversized or heavy furniture. Always check with your estate office before leaving items outside.
A2: You’ll need to arrange a private disposal service. Junk Value offers same-day pickup for bulky items like wardrobes, sofas, and tables — especially those that can’t fit in lifts or need dismantling.
A3: It depends on its condition. If the furniture is still usable, you can list it online for giveaway or resale. If it’s damaged or mouldy, it’s safer to dispose of it through a junk collection service.
A4: Rates vary depending on furniture size, type, and accessibility (lift or stairs). On average, expect between $50–$150 per load. You can WhatsApp us at 91459514 or 94251998 for a fast quote from Junk Value.
A5: Clear out drawers and remove personal items. If possible, dismantle large pieces like bed frames or tables to make collection smoother and more affordable.
A6: Yes. Junk Value offers same-day and next-day bulky furniture removal anywhere in Singapore — perfect for moving out, renovations, or urgent clearances.
Most old furniture in Singapore cannot be recycled, especially if:
Water-damaged
Torn or heavily used
Covered in mixed materials (wood, foam, fabric)
We dismantle and sort what we can. Then we hand over materials to licensed recyclers and waste handlers, so nothing is illegally dumped.
Whether it’s a broken couch, unwanted table or bulky bed frame, we’re here to help.
Don't wait for your decluttering deadline to creep up. Let the Junk Value team handle it fast, legally, and affordably.
