Hi Paul,
I'll only "dive" if there's something worth diving for. It's usually a very affluent skip with people throwing out pretty valuable items, for example a local lady rescued a rocking horse from the skip last year and it fetched £6,000 at auction!
I've rescued loads of good things the most memorable being a pair of Rogers LS35A speakers, numerous old receivers, 12 full bottles of unopened vintage whisky (1940's), a pair of Royal Doulton vases and many many other quite valuable objects.
I don't dive as a hobby but when I'm out skipping some of my old junk I usually come back with more than I took out to skip.
Not a lot out there today unless you like over ripe fruit
