Got old furniture cluttering your home in Singapore?

From settees and wardrobes to dining tables and mattresses, getting rid of bulky items can feel overwhelming.

Many homeowners wonder if Karang Guni men will take them, but the reality is: not everything has resale value, and some items may be rejected.

This guide will show you all the avenues to sell or pass on your old furniture legally and efficiently, along with tips and tricks to maximize value.

Karang Guni Men: What They Can and Cannot Take

Karang Guni men are a traditional option for removing old household items. Keep in mind:

• They usually collect lightweight, reusable furniture or electronics.

• Items must be in good condition; broken or heavily damaged furniture is often rejected.

• Cash offers vary depending on material, age, and resale potential.

Tip: Take clear photos of your items before contacting Karang Guni collectors to get a preliminary assessment.
