Do you already have an additional black bin/larger recycling bin?

South Norfolk Council can provide larger green recycling bins and additional black rubbish bins.

Recycling: The larger recycling bins are provided on request to try and encourage an increase in recycling. These bins will be provided in place of your current green bin.

Rubbish Bins: Additional rubbish bins are only provided where residents meet a certain set of criteria which justifies the creation of additional waste. This helps to ensure that the amount of waste generated in South Norfolk is kept to a minimum.

I would like to apply for:

A larger recycling bin

An additional rubbish bin

Our records have shown us that you have an additional rubbish bin or an additional/larger recycling bin. As a result, you will have received written notification of a waste audit.

We will periodically undertake a review of this service to ensure that it is only provided where necessary and to help us reduce the quantity of waste created in South Norfolk.
