Colin and Darren's discussion provided practical advice for homeowners, ranging from checking the site regularly for rubbish to considering the installation of temporary fencing as a deterrent to illegal dumping. They also stressed the significance of engaging reputable clean-up services recommended by builders to ensure thorough site clearance. Additionally, the hosts addressed the broader societal issue of irresponsible dumping, expressing frustration at the financial burden it places on builders and homeowners alike.
