Collections for communal bins
This service is initially for properties that have their own individual bins and not communal/shared bins. Trials will take place for these bins and residents will be notified in advance.
If you do not have access to this service, please continue to reuse items, wherever possible through friends, family, recycling centres, charity shops and online sites. If the items are not reusable they can be recycled at some drop off points such as Norfolk County Council recycling centres, textile banks and battery banks that are often in stores that sell batteries such as supermarkets.
Alternatively, for small items, please find your nearest electrical drop-off point on Recycle Your Electricals postcode locator.
