Not sure what country you live in, but if you're in the US, then
regardless of whatever munincipal laws have been enacted, the U.S.
Supreme Court has ruled (on multiple occaisions) that refuse is
exactly that- stuff that people no longer want.
The most recent case that verified this was when suit was brought
against a police department who extracted evidence from someone's
trash. The police won that suit, and thus your trash does not receive
the constitutional protection that other property gets.

Is there any way you can retrieve it from the skip
if it ends
up in there?
Once it is in the skip, anyone taking it away, other than the waste
disposal people, is stealing it. This has already been made clear to
me.

I am in the UK. The attitude of the legislature here is that property
belongs to someone unless they explicitly give it to you. This was
highlighted in a case a few years ago when a refuse collector was
convicted of stealing from the council which employed him for salvaging
stuff which had been thrown out by householders.
The ruling was that, once refuse was put out for collection it became
the property of the council.
