Play our Recycling Game
No matter where you live in Norfolk, you can put the same items in your household recycling bin. Test your knowledge of what can and can’t go in your recycling bin at home against the clock. Share this with your friends at the end of the game.

Ideas and resources for Schools
Reducing rubbish in school is easy.
There are several ways schools can look at reducing the amount of waste they throw away every day. Waste prevention is a better environmental option and usually cheaper than either reusing, recycling or disposing of rubbish.
The Circular Economy
What is a Circular Economy?
A circular economy is an alternative to a traditional linear economy (make, use, dispose) in which we keep resources in use for as long as possible, extract the maximum value from them whilst in use, then recover and regenerate products and materials at the end of each service life.
