So not classed as theft.
What rubbish? The definition of theft does not count on what an item is worth. Any item in a skip is the property of whoever owns or is hiring the skip. As someone said earlier you don't know if the items could be taken to a slvage yard or what.
A Few things I found on a quick search

If you see something in a skip you want. Ask! Whats the problem
if it is just waste to the owner 99% of them will let you have it anyway. By covertly taking it your making yourself look guilty anyway. Yes the chances of being prosecuted are slim but why be so stupid to take the risk? 0
