Free routes first
Town council bulky-item removal, e-waste collection points and donation come before any paid clearance. Where a free route fits, the guide says so.
Rules linked to their source
Anything about HDB, the courts, NEA, BCA or the PDPC links to the official page it comes from, and every guide carries the date it was last checked.
