In Singapore, disposing of bulky furniture isn’t as simple as leaving it at the void deck. To avoid fines for illegal junk dumping, it’s important to follow the rules set by HDB and town councils.
The Problem with Dumping Bulky Furniture
While it may seem like the easiest option, leaving your bulky items at a void deck or common area is often a bad idea. Most town councils have strict regulations and limitations about the right way to dispose bulky furniture in Singapore:
They may only allow a small number of items per month.
Certain items, especially large appliances like fridges or mattresses, are often excluded and require special handling.
You must book an advance appointment, which can be difficult to get on short notice.
This is where a professional disposal service becomes not just a convenience, but a necessity.
While it may seem like the easiest option, leaving your bulky items at a void deck or common area is often a bad idea.

A1: The right way is to schedule a pickup with your Town Council or a paid furniture disposal service like Junk Value. Leaving items at void decks or corridors without arrangement is illegal and can result in fines.
A2: Most Town Councils offer free removal for 1–3 bulky items per month, but not all furniture types are accepted. Large wardrobes, bed frames, or items from renovation works may require paid collection instead.
A3: Disposal costs vary depending on item size, access (stairs or lift), and total load. On average, private junk removal starts from around $60–$100 for single items, with bundle discounts for multiple pieces.
A4: Unauthorized dumping in common areas is an offence under the Environmental Public Health Act. Offenders may face fines from the NEA. Always book proper removal to avoid penalties.
A5: Yes. Junk Value can collect entire room loads or full home clear-outs in one trip — including sofas, wardrobes, fridges, and mattresses — with quick scheduling via WhatsApp at 91459514 or 94251998.
A6: If it’s usable, you can list it for sale online or donate it to second-hand organizations. Please read our related blogs on selling tips and strategies.
Junk Value also recycles or repurposes selected items instead of sending everything to the landfill.
A7: With private disposal services like Junk Value, same-day or next-day pickups are often available across Singapore. Town Council slots, however, may take several working days to confirm.
