Norfolk County Council services in one app

Q: Do I need to book a Norfolk recycling centre?

Yes. Everyone must book a free 15 minute slot before visiting a Norfolk recycling centre, including people on foot. You can book up to one week ahead on the Norfolk County Council website, and you give the registration of the vehicle you’re using, including a hire car or van. You don’t need to book to visit or donate to a reuse shop.

Q: Can I take DIY waste to a Norfolk tip?

Yes, a small amount from your own home: up to two 50 litre sacks or one item per visit, and four visits with DIY waste per household in any four weeks. Say you’re bringing DIY waste when you book. Larger amounts are charged.

Q: Which Norfolk tips are part-time?

Bergh Apton, Docking, Snetterton, Wells-next-the-Sea, Wereham and Wymondham are part-time recycling centres, open on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays only. The other Norfolk recycling centres are closed on Wednesdays.

Q: Is the Morningthorpe tip still open?

No. The Morningthorpe recycling centre near Long Stratton has closed. Norfolk County Council says the nearest recycling centre is Norwich South, on Ipswich Road.

Q: How do I report a pothole in Norfolk?

Report it online to Norfolk County Council, which looks after most roads and pavements in the county. National Highways looks after some major roads, such as the A11 and A47.

Q: When are the Norfolk school holidays?

Norfolk County Council publishes term dates for Norfolk schools. Some schools set their own dates, so check with your child’s school. Loci syncs council term dates automatically and reminds you when they’re coming up.

Q: Is Loci run by Norfolk County Council?

No. Loci is an independent community platform. Loci links you to the council’s official webpages, where you can report problems and make requests.
