2. Call your HDB estate Town Council or Estate Cleaner supervisor
For the benefit of its own citizens, the town council provides free bulky item disposal service. The rules of each town council vary, although they are typically three items per household every month and based on appointment and scheduling. Additionally, residents must leave their items outside the flat for pickup at the scheduled time and day. Additionally, the appointment time is restricted to office hours.
The free removal by town council is subject to several restrictions, including but not limited to the ones listed below：
- Before transferring, bulky things should be removed
- Debris removal from renovations
- Removing built-in furniture, such as kitchen cabinets, false ceilings, etc.
- Removal of huge furniture and objects, including pianos, safes, 4-foot cabinets, 3-door closets, etc.
It’s more complicated for owners of condominium apartments. You should ask the management about the procedures for disposing of furniture and about the approved and preferred rubbish disposal services. Alternately, you could look at the list of public garbage collectors that the NEA has approved.
3. Sell to Cash Converters
Do you recall the Cash Converters phenomenon from the 1990s and 2000s? In Singapore, they are still present and active.
Many people are unaware that Cash Converters can buy and sell large household equipment. Additionally, there is no need to lug your home HiFi systems to the regional malls. If you wish to sell your large home appliances like home theatre systems, desktop computers, or musical instruments, you can ask for a free home visit. All you have to do to request a house call from Cash Converters is go to their website and fill out a form. The team at Cash Converter will then get in touch with you.
However, Cash Converters will charge you a $50 travel fee if they visit you and you end up canceling and changing your mind. Do give them a call to find out what kinds of things they accept and don’t accept.
4. Donate your unwanted furniture on Facebook group
The keyword here is free. If someone is interested in your item after you post it to the SG Freecycle Facebook Group, the deal is done.
Even though SG Freecycle first operated as a website, the majority of givers and recipients communicate via the Facebook page, where you may post images of your item while you wait for a taker.
