Hundreds of internet sleuths are tuning in to a live-stream to watch what people fly tip in a central London skip. <br /><br />Skip Watch TV began filming after a poll of 250 of Britain’s builders revealed 70 per cent had fallen victim to having their skip filled up with other people’s rubbish - forcing them to fork out money from their own pockets. <br /><br />In just 24 hours, culprits dumped cardboard, a mirror and even a freezer in the skip - but were unaware they were caught by secret cameras set up outside Terry’s Cafe in Southwark. <br /><br />The live stream will be online every day from Monday 7th August, to Friday the 11th, capturing all the rubbish people dump. <br /><br />The research found it costs builders an average of £121 out of their own pocket when people fill their skip with unwanted debris. <br /><br />Nearly eight in 10 (78 per cent) had seen people throw tat into their skip - with 65 per cent even confronting the fly tipper. <br /><br />And worryingly, 54 per cent had been shouted at or rudely spoken to because their skip was taking up space. <br /><br />Clive Holland, host of The Clive Holland Show, on Fix Radio said: “Fly tipping has serious consequences for Britain’s builders. <br /><br />“They work all hours to help get the nation moving and the last thing the need is added disruption and having to empty a tip when they’re on site. <br /><br />“Builders are the nation’s backbone. They support us, and we should support them.” <br /><br />The research, carried out via OnePoll, also revealed the strangest things found in builder’s skips - including a stolen empty cash machine, a person sleeping and even a picture of Adolf Hitler. <br /><br />Other bizarre skip finds include a complete Roman soldier statue and sex toys. <br /><br />Used nappies, condoms and threats of violence were also common finds. <br /><br />The regions deemed to be the worst areas for fly tipping were major cities, including London, Birmingham and Glasgow. <br /><br />Clive Holland added: “While there’s a funny side of what can be dumped in a skip, people need to think about the consequences it can have. <br /><br />“Having to deal with the clean up can be a nightmare and cost money which comes out of their bottom line. <br /><br />“Amid the cost-of-living crisis, we need to be doing all we can to support infrastructure projects across the country.”
