Please note that our furniture disposal service is a subsidised service offered exclusively with the purchase and delivery of a new product.
Yes, we will be able to assist with your old furniture removals for a service fee. Generally, if the furniture you wish to dispose of does not need to be hacked from the ceilings or walls, we will be able to assist with your item removal, with some important exceptions.
Disposal services are available for deliveries containing at least 1 new item delivered by “FortyTwo Delivery” only. If you did not order at least 1 new item to be delivered to you in the same “FortyTwo Delivery” trip, you will not be able to order disposal services individually.
The disposal services must be purchased together with the rest of the items you wish to purchase on FortyTwo. After adding the item you wish to buy to the cart, visit the cart page and click on the “Add Disposal Service” option for the item that you have an equivalent item to dispose of:
Additional options for the disposal services should appear, allowing you to customise the equivalent item you wish to dispose of, as well as the quantity you wish to dispose of for each item. Check or uncheck the corresponding disposal service based on your needs:
The disposal charges are itemised and may vary based on the type of item you wish to dispose of. The total disposal service charges will be calculated at the “Row Total” on the right based on the per unit price for each type of disposal service.
We offer disposal services for most product types delivered by “FortyTwo Delivery” only. However, disposal services are not offered for all products delivered by “FortyTwo Delivery”. The “Add Disposal Service” option will only appear for products on qualifying product types only.
Disposal services are charged on a per-item basis. For example, if you would like to dispose of 2 dining chairs, you should enter “2” as the quantity under the “Chair Disposal” service row, and the charges for the service will automatically be recalculated.
The disposal services are only offered on the basis that the item to be disposed of must be equivalent to the item that was newly bought (one-to-one, like-for-like). For example, if you have bought 2 dining chairs, you can only purchase disposal services for up to a maximum of 2 dining chairs. We are unable to accommodate requests to purchase disposal services for an old item if you did not purchase a new equivalent item (eg. you cannot request to dispose of an old sofa if you did not order any new sofas).
On the delivery date, our delivery team will assist you with the disposal of your old items based on the item size and quantity as indicated in the disposal service you have ordered.
However, when you order new mattresses from FortyTwo, we are able to provide a free disposal service for your old mattress. Just like the disposal services for all other items, the mattress disposal service is also offered on an equivalent-item basis. If you ordered 1 new mattress and wish to dispose of 2 old mattresses, the disposal of the second old mattress will be chargeable. Similarly, if you ordered a Single-sized mattress and wish to dispose of an old Queen-sized mattress, additional charges apply. The applicable disposal top-up charges are as follows:
| Size Bought ↓ \ Size Disposed → | Dispose: Single | Dispose: Super Single | Dispose: Queen | Dispose: King |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Purchased: Single | Free with equivalent size purchase, or S$50 for each additional Single mattress | Free with equivalent size purchase, or S$50 for each additional Super Single mattress | S$50 | S$50 |
| Purchased: Super Single | Free with equivalent size purchase, or S$50 for each additional Single mattress | Free with equivalent size purchase, or S$50 for each additional Super Single mattress | S$50 | S$50 |
| Purchased: Queen | Free with equivalent size purchase, or S$50 for each additional Single mattress | Free with equivalent size purchase, or S$50 for each additional Super Single mattress | Free with equivalent size purchase, or S$50 for each additional Queen mattress | S$50 |
| Purchased: King | Free with equivalent size purchase, or S$50 for each additional Single mattress | Free with equivalent size purchase, or S$50 for each additional Super Single mattress | Free with equivalent size purchase, or S$50 for each additional Queen mattress | Free with equivalent size purchase, or S$50 for each additional King mattress |
Please refer to the following table for the local size equivalents for non-local/UK-size mattresses. The disposal fees are the same for the equivalent local sizes:
| Non-local Sizes | UK Single, or up to 200cm x 90cm | UK Small Double, UK Small Double Tall, or up to 200cm x 120cm | UK King, or up to 200cm x 150cm | UK Super King, or up to 200cm x 200cm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Equivalent Local Sizes | Single | Super Single | Queen | King |
If you wish to dispose of a mattress size that requires a disposal fee top-up, please contact us at least 24 hours before the delivery to secure the service. We regret that we will not be able to dispose of your old mattress unless you have indicated it before placing your order.
Please note that free bulky item disposal services from your Town Council may be available to you as a free alternative to our disposal services, and you may want to consider it first if you are currently living in HDB towns. You may contact your Town Council for their free bulky disposal service if you live in an area managed by the HDB.
Most Town Councils provide free disposal of the first three (3) movable bulky items per month, with the exception of certain types of items. A fee will be charged by the Town Council for removal of additional items. It is highly recommended that you inform your respective Town Council of your request 1 week in advance.
Below is a helpful list of links and hotlines (in alphabetical order) for your Town Council's bulky disposal service.*
