There are only so many items one can comfortably fit inside one’s home. And if you subscribe to the core tenet of Singaporean Dream of home upgrading, which is owning progressively larger (or more prestigious) properties during one’s lifetime, you will need to master the art of letting go of your items to make space for better things. And did you know that according to the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR), at the rate that we are going, our one and only landfill will run out of space by 2035? You can do better than just merely dumping your unwanted items at the foot of your block. Here are ways to dispose of your items correctly, sustainably, and possibly profitably.
CALL FOR HELP
Who are you going to call depends on your type of housing and your preference.
