The whole rate card, on one page
Pick the crew, add a vehicle if the job needs one, add a lead if somebody has to run it. A 3-hour minimum, then billed by the hour. No call-out fee and no quote you have to phone in for.

Add a vehicle if the job needs one
Billed once for the job, not once per Gopher. Four Gophers share one truck and you pay for one truck.
No vehicle
Labour only. The crew arrives on site. You supply any vehicle the job needs.
Cargo van or pickup
About one room. Dump runs, supply runs, single items and small moves.
24 ft moving truck
Three to four bedrooms. Whole-home moves, office relocations and full-load junk removal.
Vehicles are commercially insured and driven by the Gopher. Fuel is in the rate.
Junk is charged by weight
The transfer station charges us by the tonne off a scale ticket, and charges less for clean yard waste than for general junk. We carry that difference through instead of flattening it.
General junk
Household and jobsite waste, furniture, renovation debris.
Yard waste and clean wood
Branches, trimmings, soil-free green waste and untreated wood.
What a load weighs
- Full cargo van or pickup
- ~900 kg · $351
- Full 24 ft moving truck
- ~4,500 kg · $1,755
General junk rate on typical mixed household waste. Soil, concrete and tile weigh far more for the same volume.
Disposal extras
- Minimum per disposal run
- $49.99
- Mattress or box spring
- $29.99 each
- Prohibited materials found in a load
Only if something banned turns up that was not disclosed - $99.99
The station's per-load transaction fee and small-load minimum are absorbed — we do not itemise them.
We quote an estimate from the vehicle and load size, then bill the actual weight off the scale ticket — so it can come in under as well as over.
Gopher Pro crew lead
Not a rate for a whole crew — one person who runs the floor. They walk the site with you, plan the work, keep everyone moving and report at the end of the day. There is one lead on a job, counted as one of the people on site rather than billed as an extra body.
Crews of 4 or more always include one. Below that it is optional — most small jobs are directed by the customer.
- Experienced lead who runs the crew for you
- Site walkthrough, task plan and end-of-day report
- Single point of contact for the whole crew
- Charged on top of the crew rate, not instead of it
The crew rate plus $50 to run the job, so a Priority lead is $119.99/hr. Four people as three Standard plus one lead is $249.96/hr before the vehicle and GST.
