Sofas are one of the most common bulky items Singaporeans need to dispose of. The reasons include:
Moving house and not bringing old furniture along
Replacing worn-out or damaged sofas
Renovating and upgrading interior design
Downsizing or clearing an estate
But sofas are big, heavy, and awkward. Trying to dump them under the block is illegal, moving them yourself is dangerous, and most cleaners won’t touch them.
Many Singapore residents ask: “Can I just dump my sofa downstairs?” The answer is no.
Illegal Dumping: Leaving a sofa under the block is considered illegal dumping under Singapore law, with fines up to $10,000.
Safety Hazards: Sofas block corridors and exits, creating fire and accident risks.
Community Issues: Dumped furniture attracts pests and lowers the estate’s living standards.
👉 Instead of risking fines, it’s always better to arrange proper sofa disposal.
Town Council Services: Most town councils allow free bulky item removal, up to 3 items per month per household. However, sofas must fit lift dimensions and some councils exclude oversized or heavy sofas. Advance booking is required.
Limitations: Free services don’t include dismantling, same-day disposal, or weekend pickups.
For urgent clearances or larger furniture, residents usually turn to professional services like Fast Paid Disposal SG.
MCST Approval: Condo management requires residents to book the service lift and disposal slot in advance.
Restrictions: Not all condos provide junk disposal services. In many cases, residents must engage licensed disposal companies.
Timing: Disposal must be arranged during approved hours to avoid complaints from neighbours.
Same-day sofa disposal ensures your old furniture is cleared within management rules, without causing disruptions.
Private Collection: There are no free town council services for landed homes. Homeowners must arrange disposal with a licensed company.
Large Items: Many landed homes require clearing multiple items during renovations or estate clean-outs.
Truck Access: Large disposal trucks can access directly, making disposal efficient.
For landed properties, Fast Paid Disposal SG offers full house clearance and home waste management, including sofa and furniture disposal.

Disposing of a sofa in Singapore isn’t as simple as dumping it under the block. Different housing types — HDB, condo, and landed — come with different rules. Illegal dumping can result in hefty fines, while town council services are limited.
