Legal Disposal in Singapore: Your 2025 Guide to NEA-Approved Bulky Waste & Junk Removal
Keeping Singapore spotless is serious business. The National Environment Agency (NEA) issued more than 20,000 littering tickets in 2023 alone—a clear sign that enforcement is tightening, not easing. CNA Alongside everyday litter, officers are now zeroing in on bigger offences such as illegal tipping of furniture, renovation debris and e-waste.
Heavy fines & possible jail
Dumping bulky waste in public places can attract fines of up to S $50,000 or 12 months’ jail under Section 20 of the Environmental Public Health Act.
Vehicle seizure & public shaming
In January 2024, a moving-company supervisor lost the use of his truck and paid S $8,000 after abandoning office furniture along Kheam Hock Road.
High-rise littering presumption
Since July 2023, owners can be presumed guilty if objects are hurled from their flat. Recent convictions ran into thousands of dollars in fines.
Most HDB estates let you book removal of up to three large items per month—perfect for a sofa, mattress or bookcase. Slots fill quickly, so book at least three working days ahead.
Need to ditch a fridge or TV? ALBA’s new programme offers island-wide, no-charge pick-ups for large appliances; weekend call-outs cost a small fee.
Good-condition furniture and gadgets find second lives through the Salvation Army, Pass-It-On, or the “Free” category on Carousell.
For mixed renovation debris, office clear-outs or urgent deadlines, a licensed General Waste Collector issues a disposal manifest and transports loads to approved facilities.

Flat-pack when you can—loose boards under 1.5 m may fit HDB bulky-waste chutes and lower your paid volume.
Schedule early during school holidays or month-end moves; demand spikes island-wide.
