Contents of skips are not the property of the owner of the land but the owner of the sip. Thus is tescos put something in a skip it is actually theft for them to take it back out. I would imagine that is never prosecuted but the skip owner may choose to prosecute you. However, how would they know?

So the only issue you really have is trespass and if you just went for the skips they probably would not be bothered.

my main point is NOT the legality but the ACCESS to such skips, maybe perfectly accessible in the larger cities but in our nearest town(population 5,000) there are 3 supermarkets-not huge ones-but ALL the skips are behind high locked gates so getting to any discarded food is not easy and downright difficult, and unless your a blooming athlete( or your name is Scythe) impossible!
