I asked an Oz chum.

"Skip" in this usage is a garbage dumpster.

Thanks. My Oz chum is from Perth. He thought it might be a delivery van at first. When I told him later it was a dumpster, he said he knew that, only it's more like a construction site bin. He says skip is also a derogatory nickname for an Aussie.
