Azizi, I believe "skip" in the UK is equivalent to "dumpster" in the US.

By the way, and totally off-topic, the term "dumpster" in the US is one of those cases where a trade-name has been adopted generically. One of the pioneers in large-container refuse systems was named Dempster, and he called his company "Dempster Dumpster".
