Are you licensed to do this work?
Owners, trucks and employees are fully licensed and insured. Every franchise is
registered and retains the necessary permits.
Why can't you give me an exact price before
you arrive?
Pricing is based on volume and nature of the material. We can't give you an exact
price until we are able to see your junk. We book an appointment with you
and review the pricing. Then the truck team verifies pricing on arrival.
When should I book an appointment?
Contact us as soon possible as time slots fill up quickly. Once you call, we'll
let you know the availability in your area. We need to know the postcode of the
pick up address.
Why are appointments booked in two-hour
timeslots?
Truck Teams call 15 to 30 minutes before arrival and give firm arrival times. This
allows them to deal with unforeseen circumstances, such as traffic or jobs that
were larger than expected.
Can you do the job for me if I am not on
site?
Customers should be on site when trucks arrive. We call 15 to 30 minutes before
arrival to let you know we are on the way. If you are unable to be on site, the
drivers review pricing on arrival and call you for confirmation. They accept credit
cards over the phone.
I really need this job done but it can
only be after hours. Can you do that?
Contact us and we'll be happy to discuss your options. It is unsafe for our drivers
to do jobs when it is dark. Special arrangements can be made if required.
What do you do with the junk?
It depends on what you have. We will take some items to the transfer station and
the rest to the dump. We are not a salvaging company or charity.
Why can't you take hazardous materials?
Drivers and trucks are not licenced to carry hazardous materials. Call your local
recycling or waste management hotline for further assistance.
Can you move my stuff from one location
to another?
We are not licenced to carry items for the purpose of moving them. The truck is
a "junk" truck and is also dirty inside. We can only take away any items you no
longer need.
Why do you charge?
Truck Teams do all the loading, clean up and take items to the local dump. We are
charged at the dump just as you would be.
What equipment does your truck team come
with?
Two strong and efficient people, shovels, rakes, sometimes a trolley or wheelbarrow.
We do not operate machinery or carry ladders.
Why would I use your service rather than
a skip bin?
Two people come and do all the labour and clean up. We charge based on volume items
take up in our truck, which is about 11.5 cubic meters. Skip bins sit on your property and you do all the loading
and clean up yourself. You also pay for the entire bin, no matter how much you fill.
How big is your truck?
The steel box on the back of our truck is 3 metres long, 2.4 metres wide and 1.5
metres high.
