The Art Of Letting Go
Home & Decor Singapore|January 2021
The Singaporean Dream of home upgrading comes with a great responsibility of disposing of your items correctly, sustainably, and preferably profitably. Here are ways to do it.
The Art Of Letting Go

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.

ARE YOU AN HDB RESIDENT?

Congratulations, you are entitled to a free bulky item removal service – T&Cs apply. Google “bulky item removal service Singapore Town Council” and you’ll find Town Council websites detailing how to request the removal for free. Find the one catering to your estate and submit your request.

Each Town Council may have different T&Cs, but generally, it requires at least three working days to process your request and a specific time during working days to remove the items. Applications must also be made by the resident of the unit.
