Thinking someone will just take your old furniture off your hands for free? You’re not alone.
Lots of Singaporeans assume “used furniture collectors” are still a thing — maybe a garang guni uncle, a hobbyist, or a small reseller. But the truth? Not so much anymore.
Let’s break down what’s actually happening on the ground today.
Chances are you’ve grown up seeing:
🚛 Garang guni men picking up old TVs or radios
♻️ Neighbours giving away bulky furniture before moving
🪑 Hobbyists repurposing antique chairs or cabinets
So naturally, you might ask:
“Can someone just collect my furniture?”
And usually, the answer today is no — not for free.
Who Are Today’s “Furniture Collectors”?
1. Furniture Buyers & Resellers
These buyers only want specific pieces:
Branded, in excellent condition
Rare hardwood or vintage designer items
The catch:
You often need to deliver the item yourself
They offer very low prices, or nothing
Pickup is usually 1–2 items max
Many people waste weeks waiting for a buyer — only to be disappointed.
Some small businesses clean, sort, and resell furniture.
Free collection? Only sometimes, for light, resellable items
So if you have a full household of furniture to move? They’re not the solution.
This is where Junk Value Recycling steps in:
Entire home clear-outs ✅
Furniture in any condition ✅
HDB, condo, landed, no-lift buildings ✅
Urgent or same-day disposal ✅
We handle:
Many people expect:
Full removal of all items
Instant resale value
Zero costs
Reality check:
✅ Some items can be given away
❌ But full removal is rarely free
❌ Professional disposal (stairs, trucks, legal compliance) always costs
Before waiting for a “collector,” ask yourself:
Is it in good condition?
Can I deliver it?
Am I prepared to wait weeks?
If not — call the professionals.
