Skip Hire Monkmoor

We deliver skips into Monkmoor and the SY2 side of Shrewsbury from £150, with next-working-day delivery as standard and same-day subject to availability - our own fleet runs in from our family depot in Madeley, Telford, and we are an Environment Agency registered firm that has served Telford and Shropshire for over 20 years.

Local skip hire across Monkmoor

Monkmoor is one of the first Shrewsbury suburbs our lorries reach coming in from the Telford side, and we deliver right across it - from the Victorian and Edwardian villas at the lower, Abbey Foregate end of Monkmoor Road, up through the interwar estate built over the old racecourse, out to the trading estate and the streets around the recreation ground. The suburb sits inside the Severn's eastern loop next to Underdale and Abbey Foregate - if your postcode starts SY2, we can almost certainly get a skip to you.

We will be honest: we are not a Shrewsbury firm - our depot is in Madeley, Telford, roughly 16 miles away along the A5 - but we keep every size in stock: 3 and 4-yard minis, 6-yard midis, our most popular 8-yard, and 10 and 12-yard builders skips. Because we run our own fleet rather than subcontracting, next-working-day delivery is the norm for Monkmoor, with same-day sometimes possible subject to availability. Standard hire includes 7 days, and you can see live prices and book online in about two minutes.

Skip sizes for Monkmoor homes and projects

Most of Monkmoor is interwar: the council bought Shrewsbury's old racecourse in 1925 and by 1937 had built around 300 houses on it, so the heart of the suburb is 1920s and 30s semis and short terraces with proper gardens. Those houses were plastered the old-fashioned way, which means a kitchen or bathroom rip-out generates real weight - a 6-yard midi is usually the right call, or an 8-yard if you are doing both rooms or clearing the garage at the same time.

The 8-yard builders skip is the one Monkmoor households book most - it holds roughly 80 bin bags' worth and suits a full house clearance, a loft conversion strip-out or a proper overhaul of one of those mature back gardens. Down at the town end of Monkmoor Road, where the villas give way to tighter frontages, a 3 or 4-yard mini sits more comfortably on the drive. One tip on weight: soil, hardcore and rubble reach the lorry's safe lifting limit long before a big skip looks full, so split heavy loads across smaller skips.

Next-day delivery to Monkmoor and SY2

The run from our Madeley depot is a simple one: M54 onto the A5 Shrewsbury bypass, off at the Emstrey roundabout onto the A5064 London Road, round the Column roundabout by Lord Hill's Column and along Abbey Foregate to the Monkmoor Road junction. Monkmoor Road itself is a proper through road, so our drivers never need to thread the medieval town centre - by Shrewsbury standards, an easy suburb to deliver to. Peak-hour queues on London Road and at the Column can slow the run, and in a Severn flood week nearby riverside roads sometimes close, which can mean a re-route.

Wherever you are in Monkmoor, the skip goes on your own private driveway, yard or land - all the driver needs is a firm, level spot with clear access for the lorry. On-street parking is the norm around here, so the single most useful thing you can do is keep your drive or frontage clear for the delivery slot. If access is awkward - a shared drive or a narrow gate - tell us when you book and we will plan the drop and recommend the right size.

Commercial skips around Monkmoor

Monkmoor has its own trading estate on Monkmoor Road, with builders merchants and trade units alongside car-repair and home-improvement businesses, so plenty of the builders working the suburb's older housing stock are supplied from right on the doorstep. We keep 8, 10 and 12-yard builders skips ready for site waste, unit strip-outs and refurbishment jobs, and we deliver to the estate itself as well as to house sites across SY2.

Landlord refurbishments and end-of-tenancy clearances are steady work around Monkmoor Road - we handle those for landlords and letting agents alike. For any trade customer who needs waste gone regularly we run scheduled and repeat collections and can set up a commercial account, and as an Environment Agency registered carrier we provide the waste transfer paperwork that keeps your duty-of-care records straight.

Eco-friendly disposal at our Madeley facility

Every skip we collect from Monkmoor comes back to our own facility in Madeley, where loads are sorted by hand and machine rather than tipped straight to landfill. We divert more than 90% of what we take away, recovering wood, metal, rubble, soil and clean hardcore for recycling and re-use - the same standard for a Shrewsbury load as for a Telford one.

We take general household and garden waste, construction and renovation debris, wood, metal, bricks, rubble, soil and old furniture. A few things cannot legally or safely go in any skip: asbestos, plasterboard (which must be kept separate), batteries, paint and liquids, tyres, electrical items and WEEE, gas bottles and hazardous chemicals. If you are not sure about a particular item, ask when you book and we will point you the right way.

About Monkmoor

Monkmoor packs a surprising amount of history into an ordinary-looking suburb. Shrewsbury's racecourse ran here from 1832 until its final meeting in 1887 - Shrewsbury Town FC played their first ground on it from 1886 to 1889 - before the council bought the land in 1925 and laid out the housing estate. In 1918 the RAF flew from Monkmoor aerodrome, a school of reconnaissance and aerial photography, and two of its Belfast-truss hangars still stand near the trading estate, saved from demolition in 2017. The war poet Wilfred Owen lived on Monkmoor Road, where a plaque marks his family home, and St Peter's Church has served the estate since 1939.
