If you’ve searched online for ways to clear out old furniture in Singapore, chances are you’ve come across terms like "used furniture collectors," "recyclers," and "junk removal." But what’s the real difference between these?
Collectors are usually individuals or small operations who pick up secondhand furniture to upcycle, refurbish, or resell. Many operate casually, sometimes as a hobby or side business.
They often respond to listings on Carousell or Facebook Marketplace
Items must be in resalable condition
They rarely offer lifting, dismantling, or transport
No guarantee they will show up, or come on time
Collectors usually expect the item to be free and ready at ground level.
Junk removal companies like Junk Value handle full-service removal of unsellable, damaged, bulky, or unclaimed items.
We:
Provide manpower, transport, and disposal
Pick up from inside your home, including stairs or tight lifts
Safely handle items that can’t be donated or reused
We charge a reasonable fee to cover truck rental, labour, parking, and disposal costs.
So Who Should You Call?
If your furniture is:
Modern, clean, and good as new: Try a collector (well in advance)
Broken, bulky, outdated, or not moving after 1 week: Call Junk Value
