Why Leaving Junk Below HDB Blocks Is a Serious Issue
HDB common areas are shared spaces meant for safety and accessibility.
Leaving junk below blocks causes:
Fire hazards and obstruction of escape routes
Injury risks from sharp or broken items
Pest attraction and hygiene issues
Complaints from neighbours
Enforcement action by authorities
Common items wrongly left below HDB blocks include sofas, mattresses, wardrobes, dining tables, bicycles, and appliances.
Many residents still leave junk below your HDB block thinking it is a temporary or harmless solution, especially when clearing old furniture or bulky items.
NEA advisory: Bulky waste should not be abandoned in public or common areas. Improper disposal may constitute illegal dumping and result in fines or prosecution.
Fast Paid Disposal SG helps residents avoid these risks. Call +65 8809 1035.
