Thinking of selling your spoilt fridge in Singapore? ❄️
It’s not always as simple as listing it online.
Buyers are picky about condition, age, and brand.
Junk Value Recycling can help you sell or dispose of it safely, quickly, and responsibly.
Whether it’s a broken fridge, fridge with water leakage, or fridge that just won’t start, you need the right strategy to avoid wasting time or money.
At Junk Value, we get dozens of messages every week from customers looking to sell their spoilt fridges to us.
Here’s the honest truth: most people in Singapore don’t buy defective appliances, and here’s why
No Resale Value
Once a fridge short-circuits or stops cooling, it’s practically worthless in resale terms. Repair costs usually exceed what buyers are willing to pay.
Transport Costs Exceed Value
Disposing of a 100 kg fridge requires manpower, a truck and proper handling. That cost far outweighs the few dollars’ worth of metal you might recover.
Safety & Fire Risks
Short-circuited or gas-leaking fridges can be hazardous. That’s why professional junk removers focus on safe, legal removal, not resale.
Technically yes, but don’t expect much.
Scrap yards → May offer a small payout for metal parts
Secondhand dealers → Only accept working or nearly new fridges.
Spoilt Fridge Disposal Options
Tried selling your defective fridge and got no replies? You’re not alone. When resale falls through, here are your legal and practical disposal options in Singapore.
Most Town Councils offer free bulky item removal — up to 3 items per month per household. Check your Town Council’s website for booking instructions and collection schedules.
(Note: This service excludes private condos and landed homes.)
For eco-friendly disposal of electrical appliances, you can drop off your fridge at an ALBA E-Waste collection bin.
📍 Visit ALBA E-Waste SG for bin locations.
If you need same-day collection or live in a condo or landed property, private disposal is your best option.
Professional junk removal companies like Junk Value handle bulky, heavy, or hazardous items safely — without fines or mess.
When time, convenience, and safety matter, paying for a professional makes sense.
