1. SKIP BIN HIRE Christchurch

Website: https://www.canterburyminiskips.co.nz/

Areas Served: Christchurch

Contact: 335 266 62

Hours: Monday – Sunday 7:00 AM – 9:30 PM

If you want to handle a small backyard cleanup or a quick garage sorting project, working with a local team can make a real difference. 

SKIP BIN HIRE Christchurch brings more than 22 years of family-owned experience, offering fast, friendly, and highly personalised service across the wider Canterbury region. 

They’re especially known for their handy mini skips, which fit easily into tighter driveways and make residential cleanups much more convenient.

They also handle a wide range of non-hazardous waste, so you can dispose of everything from green waste to concrete debris without much hassle.

When I gave them a quick call to check delivery slots, the team was incredibly accommodating and answered all my questions directly. 

The only slight downside is that their maximum bin size tops out at 6 cubic metres. If you’re dealing with a larger commercial demolition project, you may need to look at a provider with bigger industrial options.

Fast efficient delivery & pick ups

The team at Canterbury Mini Skips are such an amazing bunch to work with! Fast efficient delivery & pick ups. Nicky has fantastic customer service skills in the office & so does Ian out on delivery & pick ups.

Thanks you so much for your services over the last couple of months. A+++++

2. Grab Hire

Website: https://www.grabhire.co.nz/

Address: 29 Morrison Avenue, Northcote

Contact: 223 191 129

Hours: 

• Monday – Thursday: 6:00 AM – 9:00 PM
• Friday: 6:00 AM – 5 PM
• Saturday: 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM
• Sunday: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Grab Hire completely changes the game when you’ve got a huge pile of garden trimmings sitting on your lawn. 

Instead of relying on a traditional skip bin, they use a hydraulic grab-arm truck that loads and removes waste for you, taking all the manual effort out of the process. 

Aside from specialising in green waste removal, they can also take away the equivalent of up to 3 standard skip bins in a single visit. 

And because everything is collected on the spot, there’s no bulky metal bin sitting in your driveway for days, which keeps your space clear while the job gets done.

However, this is not a traditional long-term dumpster rental service where you can gradually fill a bin over time. You’ll need to have all your waste ready and piled up before the truck arrives for collection.

Professional pleasant service

Ended up with more green waste in both volume & weight than expected, searched all options for removal & Gary was the obvious choice. Class 4 truck, one & done, grabbed & gone, no trailer hire & endless trips to the dump nursing a sore back. Professional pleasant service.

Able to get the whole lot of it in one go and did not leave a mess

Gary was very quick and professional in removing 8 tons of brick and concrete hardfill from my property. He was able to get the whole lot of it in one go and did not leave a mess. Communication and invoicing were clear and efficient and the whole service great value for the service provided. Would certainly book in again for my next project.

3. Super Skips

Website: https://superskips.co.nz/

Areas Served: Christchurch and surrounding regions

Contact: 800 121 212

Hours: Monday – Friday: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM

If you’re looking for a provider that can handle both residential cleanups and larger commercial contracts, Super Skips makes managing ongoing waste feel noticeably more effortless. 

They offer a wide range of skip sizes, so you can usually find something that fits your project without overcomplicating the decision. 

Their standard pricing also includes up to seven days of hire, which gives you a comfortable window to clear a property or wrap up a build at your own pace.

A close contractor friend of mine uses them regularly on jobs and often talks about how flexible they are with pickup timing, especially when projects shift unexpectedly. 

On top of that, they accept a variety of waste streams and maintain a strong focus on sustainability. They’re also a Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ) accredited provider.

The only catch is that a few clients have mentioned minor delivery quirks, like bins occasionally being set down slightly off position, so it’s still worth giving placement a quick check when it arrives.

The service they give is so good 

Emma and Andrew from Super skips are fantastic.

The service they give is so good nothing is a problem.  Don’t look anywhere else to hire a skip this company is the best.

Thank you both for your kindness and service  I will be back .

Came to the rescue for our massive cleanup job

Super Skips came to the rescue for our massive cleanup job. They collaborated seamlessly with us, efficiently handling 9 skip loads within our required timeframe. Their service was not only efficient and friendly but it was also at a very competitive price. I would 100% recommend them!

4. Tidy Bins

Website: https://tidybins.co.nz/

Areas Served: Christchurch & surrounding areas

Contact: 272 666 989

Hours: Monday – Friday: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

For those who want to keep household rubbish or business waste under control without locking into long-term commitments, Tidy Bins offers a refreshingly flexible approach. 

You can choose between convenient trailer skip hires for one-off cleanups or ongoing wheelie bin subscriptions, depending on what suits your situation.

What makes it even easier is how hands-off the trailer skip service feels. From delivery through to final disposal, everything is taken care of, so the process stays smooth from start to finish. 

You can also adjust pickup frequency as needed, which works well for busy households or projects that don’t always run on a fixed timeline.

However, a few customers have mentioned slower email responses during peak periods, which can delay communication when things are busy. 

There have also been some concerns around pricing changes, so it’s worth double-checking rates upfront to avoid any surprises later on.

Extremely friendly, reliable and get to the task as quick as they can

Amazing people to use as our supplier for extra waste bins at our portfolio rental properties. They are extremely friendly, reliable and get to the task as quick as they can. I value good service and they have bags of good service to offer! 🙂 We would highly recommend them, and will continue to keep using them as often as we can. Elishea and the FF team 🙂

A good waste removal company 

Excellent service. I’ve had a wheelie bin with this company for many years. They always empty my bin on the day they say they will. Their pricing has always been fair. Their communication has been excellent. At the end of the day, a good waste removal company is one that you don’t end up having much contact with, they do the job without any hassle. Tidy Bins have been perfect in this way; each week my bin gets emptied without any dramas. I highly recommend Tidy Bins to any potential new customers, you won’t be disappointed.

5. Fahey Skip & Waste

Website: https://www.faheyskips.co.nz/

Address: Tower Junction

Contact: 800 754 787

Hours: 

• Monday – Friday: 7:30 AM – 4:00 PM
• Saturday & Sunday: By Appointment

Fahey Skip & Waste is a strong choice for anyone wanting a more environmentally focused approach to skip hire. 

Diverting recyclable materials away from landfills is central to what they do, making them popular with eco-conscious homeowners and commercial builders alike. 

They offer specialist skip hire services with a clear focus on sustainable waste diversion and recycling, including separate bins for green waste and hardfill to keep sorting efficient from the start.

A key advantage is their generous hire period, which includes up to 10 days as standard. That gives you more breathing room than many providers, especially for renovations where waste builds up gradually over time. 

But because they prioritise sorting, it’s important to plan so your waste matches their guidelines. Mixed loads need extra care, and it’s also worth checking their prohibited materials list to avoid any unexpected extra charges at pickup.

Runs an amazing service and emptying turnaround of skips

We have recently used Fahey Skip & Waste to remove 2 skips of waste from a Hoarder clean up. Logan runs an amazing service and emptying turnaround of skips.

Clear and open communication always available to meet the clients requirements.

Very eficent and professional  service, we can highly recomend.

Thank you for an amazing service, Sunshine Cleaners Ltd
