More household hazardous waste days to be held at Norfolk’s recycling centres
As part of the Norfolk County Council budget for the upcoming year, additional household hazardous waste events will be held across the county. These events will take place at seven recycling centres this spring, supplementing the usual autumn events.
The free events will be held throughout April and May 2025, and residents must use the recycling centre booking system to attend. Bookings will open one week before each event.
These events are exclusively for residents disposing of hazardous household waste. They are not open to businesses, groups, or other organisations. If residents do not have hazardous waste to dispose of, they will be directed to an alternative site, as the events are expected to be in high demand.
The spring hazardous waste events will be held on the following dates:
4 and 5 April at King’s Lynn
11 and 12 April at Dereham
25 and 26 April at Thetford
2 and 3 May at Norwich North
9 and 10 May at Hempton
16 and 17 May at Caister
23 and 24 May at Norwich South
Please note, there will be no hazardous waste events over the Easter weekend.
A list of acceptable items for disposal at the hazardous waste days can be found here: www.norfolk.gov.uk/hazardouswaste
