Disposing of large or unwanted furniture in Singapore isn’t as easy as dragging it downstairs or leaving it at the void deck. In fact, illegal dumping can result in fines of up to $2,000 under NEA regulations. Whether you’re renovating, relocating, or simply clearing out old pieces, it’s crucial to handle furniture disposal safely and legally.
While we are not a licensed disposal company, we can help facilitate quotations from trusted movers who offer disposal services as part of their operations. It’s important to check with each provider whether their process is compliant with NEA guidelines. This article aims to educate and guide homeowners and business owners on how to plan a stress-free disposal with confidence.
Prices vary based on item size, quantity, and accessibility:
💡 Tip: Movers often offer better bundle rates for multiple items.
✅ 1. Always Request an Upfront Quote
Before agreeing to anything, get a clear breakdown of all costs—including stair carry, dismantling, disposal, and transport. This helps you avoid last-minute surcharges and ensures the mover is properly briefed.
✅ 2. Confirm NEA Compliance
While most movers offer disposal, not all use NEA-approved facilities. If you need legal peace of mind (especially for office clear-outs), check whether the vendor partners with licensed facilities. Always clarify this during the quotation process.
✅ 3. Choose One Vendor for Moving & Disposal
Save time by hiring a team that can handle both your “keep” and “throw” piles. This means less coordination, fewer lorries, and a smoother process—ideal during home renovations or last-minute office relocations.
✅ 4. Use Movers Who Dismantle Safely
Professional movers will dismantle large furniture without damaging your floors, doorways, or walls. This kind of care makes a big difference—especially in condos or resale flats with tight walkways or lifts.
Q1: Is it okay to leave old furniture at the HDB void deck?
👉 No. Unauthorized dumping can lead to fines. You should book Town Council pickup (if available) or engage a proper disposal vendor.
Q2: Does every mover include disposal services?
👉 Not always. Some offer it as an add-on or work with third-party waste handlers. Always ask during your quote request.
Q3: Are the disposal companies NEA-certified?
👉 Not all. Movers may partner with NEA-approved facilities, but you must clarify with each provider if certification matters to you.
Q4: Can I book urgent or same-day disposal?
👉 Some movers may be able to accommodate urgent jobs, but this depends on their schedule. Early booking is still recommended.
Q5: Can I reduce the cost?
👉 Yes. Try to bundle multiple items, disassemble simple furniture yourself, or move items to ground floor if possible.
