The cost for a furniture disposal service singapore depends on several factors. These include the total volume of the waste (measured in truckloads or cubic meters), the labor required for dismantling (such as for large conference tables or cabinets), and the tipping fees charged by authorized disposal sites.

This transparency ensures that residential and commercial clients are not hit with hidden fees after the items have been collected.
Yes, we frequently assist hdb residents with the disposal of bulky items that the town council may not be able to handle. While town councils offer free disposal for a limited number of items, they often have restrictions on size, quantity, and the types of items (like a fish tank, a piano, or large bed frames). Our furniture disposal services are more flexible, allowing you to arrange for a full house clearance at your convenience. We handle the heavy lifting and transport, ensuring a hassle free experience compared to DIY methods.

Yes, for businesses disposing of hardware or documents, we provide a formal Certificate of Destruction.

For residential item disposal, we recommend booking at least one month in advance to secure your preferred slot. For commercial clients involving large-scale office clearances, 1 to 2 months of lead time is ideal for proper logistical planning.
