Green Skips in short
Green Skips is a family-run Telford skip hire firm offering six skip sizes with same-day delivery, instant online quotes and card or Klarna payment. Prices start from £120 plus VAT with the VAT position shown up front, and the site says the firm recycles nine-tenths of collected waste. If you want a skip booked in minutes, this review finds it the fastest route in the round. Instant online quotes mean your exact figure is fixed before delivery day arrives.
Customers rate Green Skips fairly, with middling stars on Google across a fair set of reviews. Waste registration is on record from the Environment Agency register. What counts against it is thin formal paperwork: no tied company record and no published insurance detail.
The record shows a family-run firm from Tweedale North working across Telford, Wellington, Newport, Shifnal and Shrewsbury, claiming dozens of areas served [1]. The menu runs to six skip sizes with same-day delivery, instant online quotes and card payment, priced from a published starting figure plus VAT [1]. The site claims over twenty years in Telford with most collected waste recycled, beside carrier and dealer registration on the public list [1] [2].
The customer evidence rests on a single public source, with a fair set of reviews behind a middling headline and no second platform in the held sources. The openness on prices is the other side of the picture: the money is all on the page even where the formal paperwork is thin. That split is our reading of the firm, strong on booking and weak on paper.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Green Skips suits you if you want a Telford skip booked online in minutes with the price and VAT position up front [1]. The waste registration checks out on the register [2]. What counts against it is thin formal paperwork: no tied company record and no published insurance details [1].

On the evidence, yes for fast skip hire: it sits fifth in our Telford recycling table, with same-day delivery, instant online quotes and the price plus VAT shown up front. It suits anyone who wants a skip booked in minutes. Run the two-minute quote with your postcode and waste type.
Is Green Skips a registered waste carrier?
It is listed as an upper-tier carrier and dealer on the Environment Agency register, and the site prints the same number. Ask for the registration number with your booking and check it yourself on the public register. Get the match in writing before delivery day. The register names the Tweedale North plot, matching the address the site prints.
What does Green Skips charge?
Skip hire is priced from £120 plus VAT with instant online quotes and card or Klarna payment. Six skip sizes carry their own figures, so the site is the most open on money in this round. Check what the figure covers, then fix it in writing. The VAT-inclusive total is the figure to compare, not the headline alone.
Where does Green Skips work?
The family firm works from Tweedale North across Telford, Wellington, Newport, Shifnal and Shrewsbury, claiming forty-plus areas served. If you sit near the edge of that patch, run your postcode through the quote tool. Expect the booking to confirm delivery and collection. Villages at the far edge should confirm the postcode first, since the patch is wide rather than endless.
How is Green Skips ranked?
