What Can I Recycle?
We've made it easier than ever to 'Recycle for Norfolk'.
Not only do we offer a kerbside collection for recyclables and Recycling Centres but also the following:
- There are hundreds of recycling banks across the county to recycle your glass bottles and jars. There are also many recycling banks collect textiles. Find your nearest bring bank site here.
- Many supermarkets take back old plastic carrier bags for recycling. Find out when you next do your shopping.
- Most districts offer a fortnightly garden waste collection service for a small annual fee. Residents signing up to the service will receive a 240 litre brown bin for garden waste such as grass cuttings, leaves and prunings. Find your Local Council contact details here
At the kerbside
Most homes in Norfolk have a kerbside recycling collection service which collects paper, cardboard, steel and aluminium cans and plastic bottles (Norwich City Council is slightly different, see their page for details) Contact your district, city or borough council for a full list of materials that can be recycled at home.
Follow the link youtube video to see what happens to the materials in your recycle bin once they have been collected from your home.
At your Recycling Centre
Many items, that cannot be recycled at the kerbside, are accepted for recycling at your local Recycling Centre; Tetra Paks (food and drink cartons), Foil, Fridges & Freezers, Electrical Goods, Household Batteries, Car Batteries, Fluorescent Tubes, Textiles, Timber and Books can all be recycled. Find your nearest recycling centre here.
