How to Dispose of a Sofa in Singapore (Cheapest & Easiest Ways in 2025)
How to Dispose of a Sofa in Singapore (Cheapest & Easiest Ways in 2025)
If you’ve ever tried to get rid of a sofa in Singapore, you know it’s not as easy as just leaving it downstairs. With strict HDB and condo regulations, bulky furniture removal must follow proper disposal rules — or risk a fine.
Here’s your complete guide to sofa disposal in Singapore — including free, paid, and eco-friendly options that make the process easy and affordable.
Option 1: HDB Town Council Collection (Free but Limited)
If you live in an HDB flat, you can request free bulky item removal from your town council.
However:
It’s only for 2–3 large items per month.
You’ll need to book in advance (2–3 days).
The sofa must be placed at the designated area, not in corridors or lift lobbies.
📍 Example: If you’re under Tampines Town Council, you can submit an online form on their website or call their hotline.
🕒 Best for: Non-urgent disposal and smaller sofas.
⚠️ Not suitable for: Urgent disposal, condos, or large sectional sofas.
Option 2: Condo Management / MCST Request
Condo residents need to arrange sofa disposal with the MCST.
Some condos offer assistance, but many require you to book an external disposal company due to manpower or lift access limits.
🕒 Best for: Condo residents who can plan ahead.
⚠️ Not suitable for: Urgent same-day removal.
Option 3: Hire a Professional Sofa Disposal Service
For fast, reliable, and hassle-free disposal, most homeowners prefer to hire a licensed disposal company like Tip Top Movers.
We handle everything:
Dismantling and removal of old sofas
Transport to approved waste facilities or recycling partners

Responsible recycling where possible
💰 Sofa Disposal Pricing (Singapore 2025)
| Item | Description | Price (From) |
|---|---|---|
| 1-Seater Sofa | Light & compact | $50–$80 |
| 2–3 Seater Sofa | Medium-size | $80–$120 |
| L-Shape Sofa / Sectional | Heavy or bulky | $150–$250 |
| Sofa Bed / Recliner | Mechanized / extra heavy | $180–$300 |
💡 Tip: Combine disposal with a move or storage service to save on overall transport costs.
🌿 Option 4: Donate or Rehome Your Sofa (If Still in Good Condition)
If your sofa is still usable, you can donate it to:
Pass-It-On (via The Helping Hand)
Salvation Army
Facebook Marketplace / Carousell (for free pickup)
This reduces waste and gives your old furniture a second life.
