From Denbighshire's pages, quoted or summarised.

In Wales the English DIY waste rules don't apply, so each Welsh council sets its own limits. What this council says is shown above.

Vans, pickups and trailers

Permit needed

'You will need a permit ... if you are bringing waste in a trailer with more than one axle or using a commercial-type vehicle.' Apply via the Van Ban permit form; cost not stated.
