Make sure you don't get caught, as it is illegal and you can get arrested for theft.

I never did it at uni ;-)

Well worth the fun......as long as you do it legally.

If you find loads of metal, take it to a scrap merchant and get cash for it.

Recession, means more thefts, meaning more security and cameras.

Hope it goes well though mate. If you find any medium sized blue containers, save me one.....pretty please :-)

RE: Skip Diving - bigpaul - 3 March 2013

right just got back, we found: stacks and stacks of pallets(some brand new), lots of old tyres(for growing stuff in), about 6 lengths of 5ft used timber(some with nails still in), and 2 blue plastic barrels(for water butts), this is an industrial estate on the edge of a small town(not the one where i live) with a population of 2,250. no one else about, saw very few cars on the road in, very frosty morning.
