Turn waste into cash in your community

Norfolk County Council pays recycling credits to local councils and voluntary groups collect household rubbish for recycling from within the Norfolk area. Recycling credits are worth £43.59 per tonne (from April 2007) and are payable in addition to any money received for selling the recycling to a merchant. Every year, over £4million is spent to support recycling in Norfolk.
