As in taking it is theft?

As in have you ever known anyone in charge of a skip to say 'No' when
you ask if you can remove something from it?
The usual response is "Blimey guv, sure - take the bleedin' lot".

I have known several places say no.
My local staples said no when I wanted some bits of desk.

In such cases you have to find out who's responsible for the skip -
asking a 'minion' is likely to result in a 'No' simply because they
don't know whether they have the authority to say 'Yes'.
Either that or it's your approach - though I suspect Staples would far
rather you bought a new desk.

I expect that less people will say no now that it costs money to dump stuff.

It always cost money to hire a skip - and the more room there is in
it, the more rubbish you can get rid of for the hire fee. T'was ever
thus.
I doubt fewer people will say no because of an increase in cost - it's
about how much room there is left in the skip.
