The awards recognize the company in several categories, including Best Rubbish Removal, Best Moving Company/Services, and Best Overall Business Service across communities including Ajax, Clarington, Oshawa, Pickering, Uxbridge, and Whitby.

The Readers' Choice Awards are determined through nominations and voting by members of the local community, highlighting businesses that residents recognize and support within their communities.

For owners Rick and Jennifer Dempsey, the recognition represents nearly two decades of dedication to serving homeowners, businesses, and families throughout Durham Region and the Greater Toronto Area.

Founded in 2007, CHUCK-IT Removal Services has grown from a local junk removal company into a full-service provider offering junk removal, moving services, and demolition solutions for both residential and commercial customers.

"We are incredibly grateful to everyone who took the time to nominate and vote for CHUCK-IT," said Rick Dempsey, owner of CHUCK-IT Removal Services. "For almost 20 years, our goal has been simple: provide reliable service, treat people's homes and businesses with respect, and make every job as smooth as possible for our customers."

Based in Pickering, Ontario, CHUCK-IT serves communities throughout Durham Region and the GTA, including Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Clarington, Uxbridge, and surrounding areas. The company assists customers with a wide range of projects, from single-item pickups and household cleanouts to full property clear-outs, commercial moves, and demolition work.

Beyond removal services, CHUCK-IT has built a strong reputation for giving back to the community. Through its Durham Community Closet program, the company collects gently used furniture and household items that can benefit local families and individuals facing challenging transitions.

The donation program was created with the goal of reducing waste while helping neighbours in need. Items collected through junk removal and moving projects are carefully sorted and redirected whenever possible to support families leaving shelters, seniors downsizing, newcomers settling into homes, and others experiencing difficult circumstances.

To date, Durham Community Closet has helped more than 367 families receive essential household items while keeping reusable goods out of local landfills.

Community involvement has remained an important part of CHUCK-IT's mission. The company was also recently recognized with the Tammy Rankin Award for Service to Seniors, highlighting its efforts to support older adults throughout the community.

As CHUCK-IT Removal Services continues to grow, the company remains focused on providing dependable solutions for customers while maintaining the personal approach that has guided the business since day one.
