In Manchester it's called 'tatting'
according to my brother, who lived out of skips (and probably in them) for some years.

skips, fucking brilliant, like a mobile gumtree. what one neighbour pops in, another retrieves and so on. Recycling and poverty ftw.

I fully intend to make myself a computer desk out of skip-junk when I move at the weekend.
