Can you put electical items in a skip?

E.g. a microwave?

Someone remind me please.

Electrical, even.

I have....I think its only appliances like fridges that you can't. Though don't quote me.

Yes you can. Only fridges arent allowed due to the gases - these can be collected free by local council. I know this as we used to have a 'handy skip' round ,organised by my local council.

Ah good. Moving soon & thinking of getting one. Thanks!
