Thank you all. I asked the council workers this afternoon to help me find more of my property in the skip and we found another book and another CD (which proves I was right when I said items of value had been put into it). Probably have most items of value removed from it now. Did have an argument with these people but didn't get very far with it. However I did find that I should have been given information regarding getting one of the days when they were working changed - I wasn't given the proper information. That's the sort of stuff to give my advocate... The skip has now been removed.
