    I’m probably peddling conspiracies at this point - but I suspect that the cost of living has evicted a lot of renters, and forced homeowners to sublet their homes, resulting in a lot of home clearances (man/van) and DIY projects ramping up

      A lot of the time it’s a man with a van scenario, where someone’s had too much rubbish to take to the tip themselves, so have hired someone cheap to take it away. They either don’t realise or don’t care that the person taking the rubbish isn’t licensed so can’t take it to the tip, and the rubbish gets dumped
