Green Skips review
Researched for Skip hire in Telford

Green Skips in short
Green Skips is a family-run Madeley firm hiring out six skip sizes with from-prices stated with VAT, instant online quotes and card payment. The business states twenty years serving Telford and Shrewsbury, owning its skips and employing its drivers. Our verdict is that comparing sizes and booking online in minutes is its draw for anyone happy to book online.
Its stated patch runs from the Madeley base across Telford and Shrewsbury, with Wellington, Newport and Shifnal named in the record and a longer list of around fifty areas on its own site. The six sizes span small clear-out loads to large builder loads, each with its own from-price. Booking runs through instant online quotes with card payment, alongside the listed phone line.
Customer reviews of Green Skips stand at 4.4 stars across forty-three Google ratings. The site reports nine in ten collected loads diverted from landfill at its own recycling facility. That rating rests on Google alone, with no second review platform in the held record, so the picture is broad for this group but narrow in source. The diversion figure is the firm's own account from its recycling facility, not an independently checked outcome. In our opinion, the review base reads as steady rather than glowing next to the spotless records at the top of the ranked table.
What counts against it is decisive: no carrier registration number is published and none was traced, so a mandatory requirement fails and the firm sits outside the ranked table. No insurance details are published either.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Green Skips suits you if you want to compare sizes and prices online and book in minutes, with a Madeley yard and 20 years behind the name [1] [2]. The gap is paperwork: the site states licensed carriage but publishes no registration number, which fails one of our eligibility requirements [2]. Its 4.4 rating trails the top firms here [3].
Score summary
We researched this provider but have not scored it, because it did not meet one of our eligibility requirements.
G3 · No waste carrier registration number is stated on the website and no register entry was traced to this business; the site states it is a fully licensed carrier [2]. This requirement fails.

Questions about Green Skips
Is Green Skips any good?
For online booking, yes with a caveat: six sized skips with from-prices and card payment suit quick comparisons, backed by 4.4 stars across forty-three Google reviews. The caveat is paperwork: no registration number is published. Ask for the carrier number and check it before booking anything. Six sizes with stated from-prices put the whole range on show before any phone call.
Is Green Skips a registered waste carrier?
That can't be sourced. No registration number is stated on the website and no register entry was traced to this business, though the site states it is a fully licensed carrier. This is why the firm sits outside the ranked table. Ask for the number and check it on the register first.
What does Green Skips charge?
Six skip sizes carry from-prices starting at one hundred and twenty pounds plus VAT, with online booking and card payment. Pick your size on the site for an instant figure. Ask what the hire days and any road permit add before you pay anything. Every size shows its from-price with the VAT position stated, so the starting figure is unambiguous.
Where does Green Skips work?
The Madeley firm states twenty years serving Telford, Shrewsbury and the wider area, with a fifty-one-area service list on its site. Send your postcode through the quote route to confirm you are covered before you set dates or pick a size. Wellington, Newport and Shifnal sit in the named patch alongside Telford itself.
How is Green Skips ranked?
It was researched but not assessed in our September round, because no carrier registration number could be traced to it. Strong online booking and list prices count for nothing without that paperwork. The firm can send its number through the Claim a listing route to join the next round. That paperwork gap is the whole reason it sits out.
How do I get a quote from Green Skips?
Pick a size on the firm's site for an instant from-price, then complete the online booking with card payment for the quickest route. For anything unusual, ring the listed Madeley phone line with your waste type, postcode and dates. Get the hire days, the VAT-inclusive total and any road permit arrangement written into the confirmation before the lorry is booked.
What do customers say about Green Skips?
Held reviews sit at four point four stars across forty-three Google ratings, the deepest review base among the firms outside this round's ranked table. Every held review sits on Google alone, with no second platform in the record, so the picture comes from one place. Read a spread of the individual reviews alongside the headline figure before deciding what it means for your job.
How does Green Skips compare with the ranked firms in this round?
The seven ranked firms all hold checkable carrier registrations, which this firm does not show, and that paperwork is the whole difference in status. Its edge is price transparency: stated from-prices with online booking go beyond the phone-or-form quoting most of the table uses. Against that, its review base trails the spotless records at the top, and the ranked yards pair skips with extras such as clearance labour or grab hire.
