Getting started

What is Chuck and how does it work?

Chuck connects you with local haulers who can collect and remove your unwanted items. Choose Instant Pricing to see a price upfront for eligible items, or choose Large Load to request and review quotes from haulers. Once your booking is confirmed, your hauler takes care of the pickup.

Should I choose Instant Pricing or Large Load?

Choose Instant Pricing when you know what items need to go and want to see a price and book straight away. It's a good fit for eligible individual items such as a mattress, bed base, sofa, fridge or washing machine. Choose Large Load when you have a mixed pile, a larger or unusual job, or details that are difficult to capture as individual items. Describe the job and add photos so haulers can assess it and provide quotes for you to consider.

What can Chuck remove?

Chuck can help with rubbish and junk removal, including mattresses, bed bases and frames, sofas and couches, fridges, washing machines, other appliances, furniture, general rubbish and garden waste. Tell us exactly what you need removed when booking so the right price or quote can be provided. Availability can depend on the item, location and job details.

Are there items Chuck can't remove?

Hazardous materials such as asbestos, chemicals and flammable liquids are not suitable for a standard pickup. If you're unsure about an item, contact us before booking.

Where is Chuck available?

Chuck offers rubbish and junk removal in Auckland, Hamilton and Cambridge. Availability and pickup options can vary by location and hauler.

Instant Pricing

What is Instant Pricing?

Instant Pricing lets you select eligible items, see the price before you book and choose from the available pickup options. Your price covers collection, loading, transport and disposal for the items and details included in your booking.

How quickly will a hauler be assigned?

Instant Pricing bookings are usually assigned to a hauler within 30 minutes, and sometimes within minutes. Assignment times can vary with hauler availability and your job details, so this is an estimate rather than a guarantee. Assignment is separate from your scheduled pickup time.

When will my items be collected?

Choose from the pickup options shown when you book. The available dates, times and prices can vary by location, job details and hauler availability. Your pickup time is separate from the time it takes to assign a hauler.

Can I add an item to my Instant Pricing booking?

Yes. If the Add items option is available on your booking, you can request to add eligible items through your job details before 7 pm on the day before your scheduled collection. You'll see and approve any extra charge before confirming. If the deadline has passed or you need help, contact us.

What if my items or access details change?

Make sure your booking accurately describes the items and access required. If something changes, check your job details and contact your hauler or contact Chuck for help. Changes may affect the price or pickup arrangements.

Large Load

How does Large Load work?

Describe what needs removing, add helpful photos, provide the pickup location and select your preferred availability. Haulers can review the job and send quotes. You can review the offers and choose one that suits you; the booking is confirmed when you accept a quote and complete the required payment.

When should I choose Large Load?

Large Load is useful for a mixed pile, a large clean-out, unusual items or a job where the amount or access needs a hauler's assessment. Clear photos and an accurate description help haulers understand the work and provide useful quotes.

How long does it take to receive a quote?

Quote response times vary depending on the job, location and hauler availability. A Large Load job is assigned only after you accept an offer and complete the booking. The usual Instant Pricing assignment estimate does not guarantee when quotes will arrive.

What if I don't receive a suitable quote?

Check that your description, photos, pickup location and availability give haulers enough information. If you still need help, contact us. Receiving a quote or finding a hauler cannot be guaranteed.

Preparing for pickup

What information should I provide?

Include the items or material to be removed, their quantity or approximate size, the pickup address and any access details, such as stairs or difficult entry. Add clear photos where requested, especially for Large Load requests. Accurate details help avoid delays or a change in price.

Where will my items be collected from?

For outside collection, leave your items in an accessible spot outside but still within your property, such as your driveway, front yard or patio. Please don't leave them on the kerb or footpath. Tell us exactly where they are so your hauler can find them. For in-home collection, your hauler collects the items from inside your home. The pickup options available depend on your booking; some Instant Pricing options require items to be left outside.

How should I prepare for my pickup?

Make the agreed items accessible and clear a safe path for your hauler. For outside collection, keep them within your property and let your hauler know where to find them. For in-home collection, arrange access and identify the items to be removed.

Do I need to be home?

For outside collection, you don’t need to be home if your items are accessible, clearly identified and within your property. For in-home collection, arrange access with your hauler. Check your booking details and share any special instructions.

Pricing and payment

How much does removal cost?

With Instant Pricing, you'll see the price before you confirm. For a Large Load request, haulers provide offers based on the information you submit, and you can review them before accepting one. Price and availability depend on the items, location, access and pickup options.

How do I pay?

Payment is handled online when you confirm an Instant Pricing booking or accept a quote. Review the amount and booking details before completing payment.

Can the price change?

The price is based on the items and details provided. If the items, quantity or access requirements change, the price or arrangements may need to be updated. Contact your hauler or Chuck if your job details change.

Changes, cancellations and support

How do I cancel my booking?

Open your job details in the dashboard and follow the cancellation instructions shown. Any applicable cancellation terms will depend on your booking and when you cancel. If you need help, contact us.

Can I reschedule my pickup?

If you need to change your pickup time, contact your hauler as soon as possible to discuss the available options. If you can't reach them or need further help, contact Chuck.

What if my hauler doesn't arrive?

First, check your booking details and message your hauler through the dashboard. If you can't resolve it, contact Chuck and we'll help with the next steps.

How can I contact my hauler?

Open your job in the dashboard and use the messaging option to discuss your pickup or access instructions. If you need help from Chuck, use our contact page.
