Disposal service cost in Singapore for 2026: typical prices to remove a sofa or mattress, what affects a home clearance quote, and free town council options.
Updated 1 min read
Your disposal service cost in Singapore depends on what's going, how much of it there is, and how easy it is to carry out. Here are typical prices, and the free options to try first.
Typical prices for single items
| Item | Published estimates |
|---|---|
| Sofa | about S$50 to S$150 |
| Mattress | about S$30 to S$100 |
These are estimates from published guides and listings, not quotes. Large sofas, high floors without lifts and same-day service cost more.
Whole-room and whole-home clearance
Bigger jobs are quoted per job, based on:
- Volume: how many lorry loads
- Access: floor level, lift, long carry from the loading bay
- Item types: appliances, mattresses and renovation debris may be handled differently
- Timing: urgent or weekend jobs
List everything that needs to go in your request so quotes are comparable.
Free and low-cost options first
- Town council removal: many HDB town councils take a few bulky items per household each month, by appointment. Read more in our furniture disposal guide.
- Retailer take-back: ask when buying a new mattress or appliance.
- Sell or donate items in good condition.
- E-waste: use NEA's e-waste collection points for electrical items.
