What is the skip
The skip is a large metal tub that gets lifted onto a truck & the contents go to landfill !! Think you may know them as dumpsters??
Thanks for your love :-)

They sell and let you go thru the skip ?
The stuff people throw out! I've seen people on "Flog It" who bring in stuff found in the tip. Years ago, on Antiques Road Show, a mother and son came in with a table full of gold and silver jewelry - turned into their rubbish tip ! On the table was 20,000 Pounds Sterling worth of jewelry. They had more at home......!!!!
So people bring stuff to the "tip" ? And anyone can go there and go thru and take stuff ?
Our tips are all really controlled now and we are not allowed near them.
I'm sure the workers there make a nice side income!
Thanks eye4beauty for your love and cool comment!!
Well it's a recycling centre , people take their throw away stuff to them & there are different places for different things , wood bay, metal bay , electrics bay , cardboard, bottles , etc & a skip for old crockery !!
The workers sort through most bays for things to sell or if things are in the wrong bay, but sometimes you can beat them to it , (not supposed to but sometimes they don't mind) and they'll charge you on the bays , sometimes they'll say "it OK have it " !! If only they knew !!! Shhhh! :-) lol

Ok, that is what I thought.
I have to start searching skips and rubbish tips, lol
I think one of the benefits for working at gotjunk.com is that the drivers can keep anything they pick up.
