Mayton Wood Recycling Centre closure

Following the cabinet decision on the 2nd of October Mayton Wood Recycling Centre will be closed from the 1st of December with operations moving to the new Norwich North Recycling Centre. Norwich North Recycling Centre is a large modern site, with easy access to bins, without having to climb steps. The design also allows bins to be swapped without the need to close the recycling centre. Norwich North also has the largest reuse shop at any of our recycling centres. The next nearest recycling centre is at Worstead.
