no it's fine, you call it what you want.
in Amerika we would just call it by it's most basic, boring name.
trash, dumpster, garbage can, recycling bin etc.
skip sounds cool. but no one here refers to their trash as skip.
I just wanted to make sure that "skip" didn't mean something different like "good will" or "thrift store" or whatever.
lol, see?

if you were to search the exact same term in Google.com (US) then you would get a bunch of pictures of kids skipping. not trash cans.
