This Dennis Eagle Elite is a used garbage truck — also commonly referred to as a refuse truck or dustcart — offered here from a 2017 registration. Garbage trucks of this type are the workhorses of municipal and commercial waste collection, designed to collect, compact, and transport refuse efficiently across urban and rural routes. Dennis Eagle is a well-established British manufacturer with a long heritage of building specialist heavy vehicles for the waste management industry, and their Elite range is widely used by local authorities and waste contractors throughout the United Kingdom.
This particular vehicle is configured as a twin-pack refuse truck, meaning it is set up for a split-body or dual-compartment collection arrangement that allows different waste streams to be collected in a single pass — a significant operational advantage for kerbside recycling schemes. The bodywork is an Olympus body built to a 65-35 split configuration, reflecting the proportional division between the two compartments. The chassis is a 6x2 layout with rear steer, a common configuration on multi-axle refuse vehicles that improves manoeuvrability on tight residential streets while distributing payload weight across additional axles.
The vehicle is equipped with triple Terberg bin lifts, enabling simultaneous or sequential lifting of multiple bins and supporting a high-throughput collection operation. Terberg is a recognised name in refuse vehicle lifting equipment, and a triple-lift arrangement is particularly suited to high-density collection routes. The drivetrain meets Euro 6 emissions standards and is confirmed as ULEZ compliant, making it fully eligible for operation in London's Ultra Low Emission Zone and other clean air zones across the UK without incurring charges. The truck carries a 2017 registration, corresponding to the 67-plate year, and is located in the United Kingdom.
