Skip Hire Hortonwood

Green Skip Hire supplies commercial and trade skips across Hortonwood (TF1), Telford's big northern industrial and business estate, from our Madeley depot — with prices from £120, same-day delivery subject to availability, and every skip set down on your own unit's yard, forecourt or car park.

Commercial & trade skips across Hortonwood

Hortonwood is one of Telford's biggest employment parks, and we cover the whole of it — the numbered runs from Hortonwood 1 and 7 right through to Hortonwood 30, 33, 45 and 50, plus Hortonwood West out towards Shawbirch and the newer distribution and manufacturing units along the estate's edges. It's a working patch of large logistics sheds, food-production plants, manufacturing units and trade premises, so the waste here is rarely a single bin bag — it's pallets and packaging, strip-out and fit-out debris, production offcuts, warehouse clear-downs and end-of-lease clearances. That's exactly the kind of job our skips are built for.

We're a family-run firm and we work with builders, fit-out contractors, facilities teams and the businesses that occupy these units day to day. Whether you're a contractor refitting a unit on Hortonwood 30, a warehouse team clearing dead stock and broken racking, or a manufacturer needing a regular skip on the yard, we'll match the right size to the load and keep the turnaround quick. Standard 7-day hire is included with every booking, and we can talk through longer hire or back-to-back swaps if your project runs on.

A quick, reliable run north up the Queensway

Our depot sits south of here at Madeley, so Hortonwood isn't quite on our doorstep — but it's a fast, direct run we make all the time. From the yard it's straight up the A442 Queensway, the Eastern Primary dual carriageway that links the south of Telford to the north, past the town centre and out to the Hadley Park and Hortonwood junctions near the Shawbirch roundabout. It's a clean trunk-road route with no fiddly town-centre crawl, so deliveries up to the estate are dependable and our drivers know the run and the unit layout well.

Because Hortonwood uses that numbered-unit addressing — Hortonwood 7, Hortonwood 45, Hortonwood West and so on — it pays to give us the full unit reference and any gate or yard details when you book. The estate is large and some of the bigger distribution plots sit well back from the main spine roads, so a clear delivery address and a note on exactly where you want the skip dropped means our driver gets it to the right yard first time, with no hunting around between units. Same-day delivery is often possible subject to availability; tell us the unit and we'll confirm timing.

Skip sizes for business & site waste

For trade and commercial work on Hortonwood, the bigger skips usually earn their keep. Our 6-yard builders' skip handles a modest strip-out or a steady trickle of unit waste, while the 8-yard is our most popular size — roughly 80 bin bags' worth as a rough guide — and suits most fit-outs, warehouse clear-downs and general commercial clearances. For full unit refurbishments, big end-of-lease clearances or busy construction phases on the newer plots, the 10 and 12-yard large skips give you the volume for bulky, lightweight waste like packaging, timber, broken partition debris and old fixtures.

We also run 3 and 4-yard midi skips, which are handy for a small office strip-out, a tighter forecourt or a job where you only need a compact skip in the car park. If you're not sure which size fits the work, give us a rough idea of what you're clearing and we'll point you to the most cost-effective option rather than oversell you.

One important tip for industrial loads: heavy materials — concrete, hardcore, broken slab, soil and old groundwork spoil — are limited by weight, not by space. A large skip brimming with rubble can easily exceed the safe lifting limit, so for site and demolition waste it's usually better to split heavy material across a couple of smaller skips. Tell us what you're putting in and we'll steer you to the safest, most sensible combination.

Scheduled collections & commercial accounts

A lot of Hortonwood waste isn't a one-off — it's an ongoing stream from production, packaging and warehousing. We set up scheduled and repeat collections so a fresh skip lands on your yard the moment the last one's full, keeping the unit tidy and the operation moving without anyone having to chase a booking each time. Whether that's a weekly swap or an on-call arrangement around your busier periods, we'll build it around how your unit actually runs.

Opening a commercial account with us is straightforward, billing is simple, and we keep the paperwork clean. We're an Environment Agency registered waste carrier, and we provide full waste transfer paperwork for every commercial load — the documentation your business needs for its own records and compliance. If you manage several units across the estate, or run sites elsewhere across Telford in Hadley, Leegomery, Trench or Donnington, we can handle the lot under one account and one point of contact.

Placement on your own unit yard or forecourt

Hortonwood is built for this — most units come with their own dedicated yard, loading area, forecourt or car park, and that's exactly where the skip goes. We place every skip on your business's own private land: the unit's yard, hardstanding, forecourt or staff car park, somewhere our driver can set it down on a firm, level surface with clear access for the lorry.

When you book, let us know where on the plot you'd like it and whether there are barriers, height restrictions, a gatehouse to sign in at, or particular delivery hours your unit or the wider estate operates to — several of the larger logistics and food-production sites have controlled access and set delivery windows. With that detail up front, our driver can get in, position the skip exactly where it's most useful for your team, and get out without holding up your own loading bays. If you're unsure there's room or access for our vehicle, send a quick photo of the yard and we'll advise before the truck sets off.

Eco-friendly disposal back at Madeley

Every skip we lift from Hortonwood comes back to our facility at Madeley, where loads are sorted by hand and machine rather than tipped straight to landfill. We aim to divert the large majority — around 90% or more — of what we handle away from landfill, recovering timber, metal, rubble, soil, cardboard and packaging, furniture and general commercial waste for recycling or reuse. For a business with its own environmental and reporting obligations, that genuine diversion rate matters, and it's backed by the waste transfer documentation we provide for every load.

There are some things that can't go in a skip, for safety and legal reasons: no asbestos, plasterboard, batteries, paint or other liquids, tyres, electrical items and WEEE, gas bottles, or any hazardous or chemical waste. Industrial and warehouse clearances throw up more of these than a household job, so if you've got anything you're unsure about — old IT and electricals, drums, chemicals or fluorescent tubes — just ask when you book and we'll tell you the right way to deal with it separately.
