Rubbish and recycling
Where is the tip/recycling centre?
Norfolk County Council's website gives information about opening times and directions to the Caister Recycling Centre. You can recycle and dispose of various types of household waste including furniture , garden waste and certain electrical items. For further guidance on what is accepted, if there are any restrictions on the quantity that will be accepted and if there are any charges for the type of waste you have please visit Norfolk County Councils guidance page https://www.norfolk.gov.uk/38566
Please note that wet paint is now classed as hazardous waste and can only be disposed of on hazardous waste amnesty days. If you need to dispose of half filled paint tins at other times please allow the paint to dry out by adding earth or sand and leaving the lid off.
Residents can now recycle their unwanted crutches, sticks, frames and rollators at any Norfolk Recycling Centre. The walking aid will be refurbished and cleaned by inmates at HMP Norwich before being delivered back to the NHS for use by new patients.
No appointment necessary for dropping off walking aids, just drop them at the reuse shops.
To check if the recycling centre can accept specific items, or for any other questions about recycling, you can check online for the types of waste accepted (opens new window) or call Norfolk County Council's enquiry line on 0344 800 8020.
