Christchurch Skip Hire Done Right

Christchurch Skip Hire (also known as Pete’s Skips) is a locally owned, family-run skip bin service with general waste, green waste and hardfill skips from 2m³ to 7m³. Our trucks are smaller than standard gantry skip trucks, so we deliver bins into tight driveways and spots others can’t reach.

About Pete’s Skips

Christchurch-Owned, Family-Run Since 2001

Christchurch Skip Hire is fronted by owner Pete (Peter van Dorp) and family. We know Christchurch inside out — from Sockburn and Hornby to Riccarton, Halswell, Sumner, Rolleston, Kaiapoi and Rangiora — including permits, shared driveways and tight access.

Smaller trucks, rear-door bins and honest local service: that’s the alternative to the multinational skip companies.

Straight answers from Pete’s team — no fine print.
