About Us

Norfolk Recycles , is the public-facing brand of the Norfolk Waste Partnership (NWP); a partnership of Norfolk’s County, District, Borough and City councils working together to improve waste and recycling services for Norfolk’s residents and visitors.

The NWP has four strategic objectives:

• Reduce the amount of waste generated per household
• Increase the availability of waste reduction, reuse, repair and recycling activities
• Ensure residents and businesses understand the importance of waste as a resource and the range of opportunities for waste reduction, repair, reuse and recycling
• Reduce the overall system cost of dealing with Norfolk’s household waste

These will be measured by:

• A reduction in the cost of delivering waste collection and waste treatment/disposal services
• A reduction in the total amount of waste generated

Please click on your councils’ logo below if you have any questions about your local waste and recycling collections. An Annual Report for the Partnership can be found here.
