Hundreds of internet sleuths are tuning in to a live-stream to watch what people fly tip in a central London skip.
Skip Watch TV [www.fixradio.co.uk/features/skipwatch] began filming after a poll of 250 of Britain’s builders revealed 70 per cent had fallen victim to having their skip filled up with other people’s rubbish - forcing them to fork out money from their own pockets.

00:00 The Builders Skip has been used as a dumping ground for decades. Whenever the public see
00:07 it, they just deposit whatever they want in it. Whether it's a mouldy old free piece,
00:15 some gym equipment they've never used. So Fix Radio and the Bold Builders Breakfast decided
00:19 to see how long it would take to fill up this unmanned skip in London.
00:27 Excuse me, excuse me. Is this your skip? No. It's not your skip? No, it's not my skip.
00:34 Have you ever put anything in a skip which ain't your skip? Have you run a wire or something?
00:39 You know what, after that mirror, you've got seven years bad luck. Oh no! I've seen microwaves,
00:44 dead tellies, fridges. I'm expecting that to fill up quite quickly. What sort of stuff
00:50 do people dump in it? What's cheesiest? A cup. A cup? There you go. Do you often put
00:55 stuff in skips which aren't yours? I mean, if there's room in it like that. What are
00:59 you looking to put in it? A freezer. A freezer? You want me to help you? It's quite heavy.
01:06 Go on then. It's heavy isn't it? It is, yeah. I couldn't have done this on my own.
01:14 So our skip is now live and people have already been putting stuff in it and we're all guilty
01:18 from time to time putting something in a skip which isn't ours. Follow the live stream to
01:22 see how long it takes to fill up our skip.
