Seeing what other people have put in your skip? Or seeing what has been taken from your skip?

I hired a skip last year.It cost almost £200. I would have been livid if anyone threw there anything in it. And I have CCTV so could prove they did it and throw it in Thier garden.

A woman shouted at me once for taking something out of her skip!

It wasn't even actually in her skip.

It was next to it! Grrr.

There was a segment on a TV programme years ago called, ‘Skip Watch’.

Basically CCTV filmed people helping themselves to the skips contents.

It was strangely watchable

Any metal I would leave next to the skip to save people rummaging for it. And throwing things everywhere.

My neighbour put their sofa in my skip. Unfortunately for them, it had been sat in their garden for several weeks previously so I knew it was theirs.

I lost my shit and banged on their door at 0500 as I was leaving for work. By the time I got home it was back in their garden

I phoned the council and asked if I could have a skip on my driveway " you can hop and jump up and down the street for all we care"

If it’s on the street, they put flashing lights around it, then you can have a disco. The DJ could be in the skip spinning the desk, then the neighbours come out to see why Kool and the Gang are blasting out.

Did you ask to speak to their supervisor ?

I've lived in two apartments in affluent areas and the stuff I've pulled out of the communal bins have been epic!

One of the best so far was a lambswool, dual control with an automatic setting, electric underblanket that was still in its original packaging.
