The majority of skips seem to be outside of houses where building work is going on-I am looking for old wood at the moment, preferably of the old floorboard variety.

Shops and industry do use skips but their bins are usually of a different type.

NOT my wheelie bins!

I may not like the obviousness of these bins but they are certainly better than fly tipping
