Growing up in Singapore, many of us remember the sound of the karung guni horn, signaling a chance to sell old newspapers, cans, or broken radios. But times have changed. Today, many people mistakenly assume karung guni men will take large items like beds, sofas, and cupboards. Why Karung Guni Doesn’t Want Your Furniture?
Why Karung Guni Doesn’t Want Your Furniture
Karung guni collectors focus on lightweight, resellable items:
Newspapers and magazines
Drink cans and scrap metal
They don’t have the transport, manpower, or disposal licensing to deal with large, broken furniture. Leaving such items out hoping someone will collect them is wishful thinking.
Uncollected junk sits rotting in public spaces. Town councils eventually step in, but not before issuing warnings or imposing fines. Your neighbors won’t thank you for the eyesore.
Junk Value bridges the gap. We handle what karung guni can’t, including:
Heavy sofas and broken appliances
Old mattresses and tables
We assess items for potential recycling, dismantle what’s necessary, and ensure legal disposal. We provide receipts, traceability, and peace of mind.
Your Role in Responsible Disposal
Understanding the limits of karung guni is step one. Acting on it with a professional service ensures you stay compliant and stress-free.
Whether you're a tenant moving out or a landlord preparing a unit, Junk Value helps you clear up quickly.
