When you’re clearing out old furniture in Singapore, you might look at your item — a barely-used sofa, a functioning washing machine, or a solid wood wardrobe — and think, “It’s still usable… surely someone will want it.”
But here’s the hard truth:Still usable doesn’t always mean sellable — and it rarely means we can take it for free.
At Junk Value, we offer professional junk removal services in Singapore — not furniture buying, reselling, or charity collection. Our job is to help you dispose of bulky items quickly, legally, and responsibly — regardless of whether they’re working, pretty, or even brand-new.
Let’s break it down.
With platforms like Carousell and Facebook Marketplace overflowing with listings, even free furniture often struggles to move. What people want and what they’ll take — especially if they need to arrange their own transport — are two very different things.
If you're sitting on an item that “should fetch a price,” try listing it online first. If there’s no bite, it’s time to book a junk disposal crew.
Your vintage sofa might be comfy, but if it’s too large to fit in a lift or needs three people to carry it, it becomes a burden — not a bargain.
At Junk Value, we handle tricky removals others won’t, including:
We do not purchase furniture, and we’re not collectors. Whether your wardrobe is cracked or in mint condition, you’re booking our service to remove, load, and dispose of it — not to resell it.
💡 Even if your items are “good,” our crew still needs to travel, carry, dismantle, lift through stairs, and dispose of them.
2. We Face Rising Disposal & Labour Costs
Bulky item disposal in Singapore isn’t just about loading and driving away — there are town council rules, NEA compliance, stair charges, and rising fuel and manpower costs.
We always keep pricing transparent and fair — but yes, we do charge.
List it early on Carousell, Olio, or SGFreeCycle
Take clear photos and measurements
Be upfront about the condition
Arrange your own transport
If it doesn’t go within a week or two, don’t wait till the last day of tenancy. Book a junk removal slot in advance.
Real Talk: Don’t Wait Until the Day Before Handover
We get urgent calls like this all the time:
“Hi, I have a few items left. Can you help me dispose of them today before 3pm?”

If you need same-day or next-day junk removal, we’ll do our best — but slots fill up fast. Early planning = less stress and lower cost.
Let’s Recap: Why “Still Usable” ≠ “Sellable”
Your Item | What You Think | The Reality |
Sofa with slight tear | “Someone will take it!” | Hard to resell; considered junk |
Working fridge | “Can you take it for free?” | Needs disposal, stair access, manpower — still a service |
Solid wood cabinet | “It’s antique!” | Often too large/heavy to resell; no demand |
