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

“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who took the time to nominate and vote for CHUCK-IT,” said Rick Dempsey. “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.”
The company's impact extends beyond its core services. Through its Durham Community Closet program, CHUCK-IT collects gently used furniture and household items to support local families and individuals facing challenging transitions. Items are carefully sorted and redirected to help families leaving shelters, seniors downsizing, newcomers settling into homes, and others in difficult circumstances. To date, the program has assisted more than 367 families while keeping reusable goods out of landfills.
Community involvement remains a cornerstone of CHUCK-IT's mission. The company was also recently recognized with the Tammy Rankin Award for Service to Seniors, underscoring its commitment to supporting older adults in the community.
As CHUCK-IT Removal Services continues to grow, it remains focused on providing dependable solutions while maintaining the personal approach that has guided the business since its inception. The company serves communities throughout Durham Region and the GTA, including Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Clarington, Uxbridge, and surrounding areas, assisting with projects ranging from single-item pickups to full property clear-outs and commercial moves.
These awards not only celebrate CHUCK-IT's business excellence but also highlight the importance of community-supported enterprises.
