A skip is a big bin. Deal with it.

















 This controversial submission comes courtesy of Ed from Stoke Newington and highlights a bone of contention upon which bin spotters have been choking for decades: Is a skip, strictly speaking, a bin?

Well yes, of course it is. And to deny that possibility is to deny ourselves a whole world of exciting, large-format contents like the surplus carpet tiles comfortably accommodated by this bright yellow beauty.

As Ed himself wrote: "Saying a skip is not a bin is as stupid as saying a whale is not a fish." While his analogy may at first sound dubious, the fact it was scrawled in big capital letters on the back of an old Red Stripe box kind of makes it true, right?
