Pram is a "British" word for a baby carriage or stroller, i.e. something
you lay or sit a baby in which has wheels so you can push it around while
you walk behind it.

Dust cart I believe is a rubbish or trash bin, likely also with wheels.

In this case, though, I wonder if it is a British euphimism for something
more specific as I don't understand how throwing an old pram out in the
garbage would get a person into legal trouble.
