HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! Here’s an early present…
Check out this Skip Chick! Well and truly ensconced in a skip, and complete with retro Skip Chick T-shirt – now that’s the kind of skip-based dedication we love to see! Meet Emily…
Q. Hi Emily, please can you tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do?
A. Hi, I’m Emily Rice and I work for Bucks Recycling Ltd. I’m 29 – getting on a bit for a skip chick! I enjoy socialising with friends, going out to dinner and relaxing (when I get the chance).
Q. Age is no issue for us; if you score well on our highly sophisticated ‘Skip Chick-ometer’ (or Ant, as we call him), you claim your rightful place among these pages! So what do you enjoy most about working at Bucks Recycling, Emily?
A. I love talking to the customers, keeping busy and indulging in a good bit of banter with the lads (I give as good as I get!)
Q. And what do you like to do when you’re not working?
A. I love to relax with a nice bottle of wine or maybe a bit of snowboarding, if I’m in the mood.
Q. (Nigel, our health & safety expert, has asked me to make it clear at this point, that Emily’s two pathways to relaxation should never be pursued in combination!) So Emily, what do you like about The Skip mag?
A. I love the witty comments, and the overloaded skip pics are AWESOME!!!
Q. Great! What’s the most memorable thing you’ve ever seen in a skip?
A. I found some projector slides of broken bones from a retired doctor, which was pretty weird, but the best thing I’ve seen was my new coffee table!
Q. So, Christmas is upon us again, what do you hope Santa will bring you?
A. A new car please! And some diamonds (every girl loves diamonds!)
Q. (Dear Santa, we think you should maybe get Emily a crash helmet and some kneepads instead.) Thanks for being our Skip Chick, Emily. Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers before you go?
A. Bucks Recycling is also run by a lady, never underestimate women in the skip world. These boobs will go far!

Skip Chick – December 2008
One for the lads…
Our tip-top-chick-stop has been blessed by yet another beauty this month! Behold the lovely Trixie-Sue from UK Skip Sales for your ogling enjoyment (don’t you suddenly find yourself wishing you worked at UK Skip Sales?!) Let’s meet Trixie-Sue…
Q. Hi Trixie-sue, how do you do?
A. Very well thanks, how do you do?
Q. I’m great! (Wow, Skip Chicks never ask that. I could be in here…) You seem nice and cheery, can you tell us a little about yourself?
A. I’m 18 and have an active social life at uni – partying with the girlies, keeping fit and looking after my furry little friend FIFI! (That’s her dog)
Q. FIFI? Nice name. Speaking of names, yours isn’t one we hear everyday at The Skip?
A. Yeah, it’s pretty different. People don’t forget it! My dad used to be a country and western singer in the states so he insisted on the first part, and my mum’s called Sue so it’s sort of after her as well.
Q. Cool. How long have you been working at UK Skip Sales then? And what’s so great about it? It sounds a bit crazy in the background!
A. Yeah its great here. I’ve only been here a couple of months but I love it. I just work part time because of uni, but everyone is such a laugh – and a bit crazy like me!
Q. You certainly sound like a laugh! What’s your favourite part of The Skip?
A. The bottom! Ha-ha, only joking! I like ‘Skip Confidential’ at the back, and I really love trying to keep my mind ticking over with the crossword. I’ll win one of those cameras one day!!!!
Not just a pretty face then! Thanks for the interview, Trixie-Sue, and good look with the job and your uni studies. (I should ask her out. But what if I she says no? Right, I’ll just do it… oh, bummer – she’s gone).
May 2007 – Skip Chick
Spring is here and the Skip Chick feature is back! This month’s Skip Chick is called Sammie and although it looks like she’s about to have some kind of slightly unsanitary skip picnic, I can confirm the lovely white sheet is merely there to keep her jeans clean.
So then Sammie, can you tell our readers a little bit about yourself and what you do?
I’m nineteen years old and I work as a secretary for Smiths Skip Hire in Blackpool.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
We all have a good laugh with each other – especially making up names for sales contacts when clients phone up! Gerald Hardcock is our favourite! – Try it yourself and see if you can keep a straight face when the client rings back.
What do you like to do when you’re not working?
I’m a very sociable person – I hate not being out and doing something. My normal routine is going out to the pub and meeting up with mates and having a giggle.
What do you like about The Skip magazine?
It’s very informative and funny too, and all the girls look forward to the skip hunks each month.
Do you have anything else you’d like to say to our readers?
I’d like to know what is the funniest excuse anyone’s ever heard for an immediate skip pick-up? The best we’ve had went as follows – “You have to pick my skip up now! My bitch is on heat!”. I’m still trying to work that one out! We also had one woman who, when I asked her what was going to go in the skip said, “my bush trimmings”. Eeeeww! I then asked my manager if they would compost!
Thanks Sammie and good luck with the bush trimmings…

Skip Chick – February 2007
This month’s Skip Chick is Laura from Recycling Management Services in Cheshire! Laura, originally hails from Chicago but has moved over here after hearing the streets were paved with gold (Americans eh! – Ed), possibly.
Hi Laura! Can you tell our readers and little bit about yourself and what you do?
Well, I work as a Marketing Assistant for Recycling Management Services and I like to work hard and play hard. I also like horse-riding, deep pan pizzas and baseball – I’m still a Chicago girl at heart.
Chicago eh! I know a bloke called Paulie from Bronzeville on the South Side. Do you know him?
Er, no – Chicago’s massive. Nearly 3 million people live there.
Oh right! It’s called the Windy City isn’t it? Paulie is really windy, he’s forever breaking wind.
It’s not called the Windy City because the people who live there are flatulent. It’s just a windy city – the weather that is.
Ok. Have you got any strange or funny stories you’d like to tell our readers?
In 1998 a rich friend of my mothers, who’s just over 60 and very vain decided she needed a face-lift. So, after talking to a number of the world’s top surgeons she met one young London doctor who assured her that he could make her look at least fifteen years younger using a new technique he’d discovered. The technique involved placing a small screw behind each ear so that she could tighten her face once a week in order to maintain a fresh young look. Well, the operation was success and my mum’s friend was really pleased until September last year when she noticed huge bags developing under her eyes. So she travelled over to the doctor’s surgery and demanded to know why the bags were developing under her eyes. The doctor replied, “Lady those aren’t bags, they’re your boobs, and if you don’t stop turning those screws you’re going to have a beard!
What do you like about The Skip magazine?
It’s really funny and colourful. It’s not stuffy like lots of other trade magazines out there.
Before you go – Do you have anything you’d like to say to our readers?
Knock on the sky and listen to the sound.
Deep! – Thanks Laura…
Skip Chick – January 2007
This month’s Skip Chick is in Pole position! Her name’s Barbara and she’s a real ‘zloty hotty!’
Barbara is from Poznan on the west-side of Poland and she currently works as a Marketing Specialist for ‘A 2 Shred’ – Cheshire’s confidential waste shredders, using her ample talents to open new accounts!
‘Wyglądasz super’, Barbara! Can you tell our readers and little bit about yourself?
I’m 26 and I like working hard. I also like touching fences and wearing hi-viz jackets!
What do you like about your job?
The people. Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.
What do you do in your spare time when you’re not immersed in the world of shredding?
Well, not many people will know this but Poland is the world’s biggest exporter of beetroot! Fortunately I have nothing to do with beetroot. I like spending time with my boyfriend.
What do you like about The Skip magazine?
It’s funny
Do you have anything you’d like to say to our readers?
If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?
