Household recycling & rubbish: information & advice

This section includes frequently asked questions about our household recycling & rubbish services, your waste collection day, details of what you can and can't recycle, and how we can help you to reduce the amount of waste you produce - saving your household money.
We operate alternate week collections to all households, this means one week recycling is collected, and the next week rubbish is collected.
To find out about specific services - such as reporting a missed collection, ordering a brown bin for garden waste, or requesting a bulky waste collection - see Household recycling & waste: services.
We now recycle nearly 40% of waste in South Norfolk.
