How to choose a disposal service

  • HDB residents should check with their Town Council first for bulky item collection arrangements before paying a private company.
  • Ask a private disposal company for its NEA General Waste Collector licence; you want proof that items will go to a proper disposal facility.
  • Get a fixed quote based on photos and item list, including carrying from upper floors and staircase work.
  • Consider donating or selling usable furniture and electronics first; many retailers also take back old appliances when delivering new ones.

Red flags

  • Cash-only collectors with no company name or licence.
  • Very cheap quotes that may mean items are dumped illegally.
  • Leaving items at void decks or common areas for collection, which is not allowed.

Questions about rubbish disposal in Singapore

How do I dispose of bulky furniture in an HDB flat?

Town Councils contract Public Waste Collectors or licensed General Waste Collectors to provide bulky item collection to HDB residents, so contact your Town Council to arrange it. Do not leave furniture at the void deck or rubbish chute area without arrangement. For large volumes, such as a whole-flat clear-out, a licensed disposal company may be faster.

How do landed and condo residents dispose of bulky items?

Landed and private estate residents can arrange bulky item removal through their appointed Public Waste Collector or a licensed General Waste Collector, at a fee. Condo residents should also check with their management, as many condos arrange collection days or have rules on bulky waste in common areas.

What is the fine for illegal dumping in Singapore?

Illegal dumping is a serious offence under the Environmental Public Health Act. A first-time offender can be fined up to $50,000, jailed up to 12 months, or both, and repeat offenders face fines of up to $100,000. Using a licensed collector reduces the risk that your items end up dumped illegally.
