The festive season is the busiest time of the year for domestic waste and recycling collections.
Christmas waste and recycling calendars containing details of changed collection dates over Christmastime and New Year have been published online and will be featured on the back pages of Your Local Paper and the Lynn News published on 22 December 2023. All bin collection details are available online at west-norfolk.gov.uk/yourbins
Additional recycling can be put in any clear bag and put out with your green recycling bin for collection.
Please continue to put your outdoor food waste bin out with your waste or recycling collection. Brown bin collections will continue to be made during the festive period too but not on your usual day. Please check west-norfolk.gov.uk/yourbins to find out when it will take place.
