We Don’t Buy Junk — But Here’s What We Do Instead

We get it. You paid good money for that fridge, TV, or washing machine. It’s only a few years old. It looks okay. Surely someone out there will buy it, right?

Maybe. But probably not.

Every day, we get WhatsApp messages that go something like:

“Hi, I have a 55” TV. It’s spoilt.

Do you buy?”“I want to sell my washing machine. It’s leaking a bit but still working.”

“Old mattress in good condition — can trade in?”

Short answer? No. We don’t buy junk. But we do help you deal with it the right way.

Why We Don’t Buy Used or Spoilt Items

The Singapore secondhand market is extremely picky. Buyers want:

Functioning items
Clean appearance
Known brands in demand

Even then, resale prices are low due to oversupply. Spoilt appliances? Torn sofas? Bug-infested mattresses? No thanks.

We’re not resellers. We’re a professional removal and disposal service. Our job is to take what you don’t need — and can’t sell — and remove it safely, affordably, and legally.

What Happens When You Try to Sell Junk

You waste time messaging strangers on Carousell or FB Marketplace.
They ghost you, or worse — show up late and leave without taking the item.
You end up scrambling to find someone last minute (hello, moving day panic).

Worse still, some people contact removal services pretending they want to dispose, but are actually hoping someone will magically want to buy it. That leads to frustration, miscommunication, and wasted ad budgets for small businesses like ours.
