Skip hire in Shropshire: questions
- How much is skip hire in Shropshire?
- Guide prices start from £95 ex VAT for a 2 yard mini. A 6 yard builders skip runs from £220 in Bridgnorth to £380 in Shrewsbury. Prices depend on the postcode, so check your town for its own figures.
- Do I need a skip permit in Shropshire?
- You only need a skip permit if the skip goes on the road or pavement. Your skip company applies for it. Each council in Shropshire sets its own fee, from £100 (Telford and Wrekin Council) to £160 (Shropshire Council).
- Can I take my waste to the tip instead?
- For a car load, often yes. Bridgnorth Household Recycling Centre, Halesfield 1 and Hortonwood 50 and others take household waste from residents. Each centre's hours and rules are listed above. A skip makes sense once it's more than a couple of trips.
- Is a council bulky waste collection cheaper than a skip?
- For a few large items, usually. Bulky waste collections in Shropshire start from £35 (Shropshire Council). Councils charge by the item and don't take building waste, so for a room clear-out or a building job a skip is the usual choice.
