    Get the stuff out of your shed, put it at the front of your property with a sign 'free' and see how much of it goes
    During lockdown? 
    Skip divers don't do social distancing.

    Check with your local council, many areas have closed their public recycling centres and tips. The onus is on you to check that the firm has a waste disposal licence with the local council and that they are a reputable carrier. £800 seems a lot to have your waste end up being fly-tipped.
    Yes, that was my immediate concern too. Where is this firm going to dispose of the waste material at the moment? 
    I think the commercial tips are still open, it's recycling and public tips which have closed.

    Yes indeed, folk out for exercise can wander by and take stuff if they need it.

    Social distancing  was practiced when my skip was delivered - the driver was the only one in the lorry and he didn't come near me at any point.

    If you want the stuff to disappear double quick, put a sign on it saying '£10 per item'.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
