Garbage trucks in Singapore

Updated 4 November 2026

A garbage truck in Singapore is quoted per vehicle. The prices found online in November 2026 are mostly for toy and model trucks, so there is no reliable range for a full-size truck here. The quickest way to get current prices is a request on BlaBlaPrice, where sellers reply with their own offer.

The price depends mainly on:

• whether you buy or rent
• the loading type and body volume in cubic metres
• the chassis, engine, year and mileage of a used truck
• its condition and the warranty that comes with it
• the delivery city and your budget

Labelling and licence rules

If you collect general waste under a licence, every vehicle and piece of equipment you own or use for collection and transport must be labelled. Ask the seller what labelling the body can take before the truck goes on the road. Drivers and attendants should be fully trained under the Singapore Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) certification programme, according to workplace safety guidelines for general waste collection. A Singapore standard also sets general requirements for refuse collection vehicles, such as rear end loaders and tanker trucks, covering hygiene, safety, odour and noise.

Warranty and what to check

Dealer information found online says most dealers offer a 3-year or 100,000 km warranty, but the terms vary and some exclude the body. One manufacturer's warranty leaves out wear parts such as brake linings and clutch plates. Read the exclusions before you sign, and ask whether a modified truck keeps its cover, since a warranty may not apply to non-standard parts.

Heat, rain and the working year

Singapore is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer. There is no winter break to plan around, so a rental or purchase should cover the whole year. Heat and rain are hard on a cab and a body, so ask how the cab is cooled and how the body handles wet loads.

How it is priced and delivered

Quotes are given per vehicle, with delivery agreed for the city you choose, such as Singapore, Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio. Use metric units: body volume in cubic metres, payload in kilograms and the rental period in months. Ask whether the quoted price includes GST, as some Singapore price listings in the search results state it.

To get offers through BlaBlaPrice, describe the truck in your own words in the chat, adding a photo if you have one. The service is free for buyers. BlaBlaPrice reads your request, asks for any missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Singapore, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers receive the request and reply in the chat with price, terms and delivery. Your contacts stay hidden, and you decide with whom to exchange them. For similar vehicles, see heavy equipment or municipal vehicles.
