Van Wheel / Axle / Rubbish Tip Question

[Lord Pikey]

Afternoon All.

I am trying to plan the emptying of my house. I have a friend with a van ready and I am anticipating needing at least 1 dump run so clear all the crap I have accumulated over 8 years.

So, in preparation i am applying for a permit to take my friends van to the dump on moving day. However im not sure about the wording.

Lancashire CC Website said:

The HWRC's will accept household rubbish delivered by:
A van** (with no more than 4 wheels) WITH A PERMIT

• For the purposes of the permit scheme a "van" shall be deemed to be:

Any vehicle without side rear windows
Any "flatback" vehicle
Any "pickup" vehicle

His van is a Luton with a single rear axle but twin wheels if you follow me. Do you they mean 4 wheels as in 4 actual wheels or 4 wheels in the meaning of no twin axles or 6WD tanks

does that make any sense?

4 wheels means 4, not 6, how clear does it need to be?

Its been a long day.

How do twin rear axles work? Can you remove the outer wheels?

[redgriff500]

I presume you mean twin wheels as in effectively one wide wheel.

That's fine they just don't want lorries.

You might have a job getting into the site with a Luton. Most household rubbish tips have a 2mtr height restriction.Might be worth checking first.

Call them and check first.

I tried this at Leamington trip a few years back – they still demanded £50 (or whatever it was) as it was a commercial van.
- it didn't matter that is was half empty and this was just a one off visit.
It was a van I'd rented to move house, but just wanted to tip some stuff first.

In the end I parked on the street outside and carried the things in by hand.

Twin wheels with their centres no more than(I think it's 18 inches) apart are deemed as one in wheel configuration speak. That doesn't mean the jobsworth at the tip speaks the same language though.
