Sandy Hills, Old Yarmouth Road, North Walsham NR28 9LX

Find us on Google maps (opens new window)

Directions

Located about two miles south of North Walsham. Leave North Walsham at the Lidl mini-roundabout and take the old A149 heading south. Pass the touring park on left then a hotel on right, then turn next right at the nursery/plant centre. Follow this road up the hill and the recycling centre is immediately at top, through metal gates. The recycling centre is well signposted from the new A149 from the south.

Arriving on foot

You can visit on foot if you are bringing small amounts of waste directly from home. For safety reasons we don't allow people to park outside the recycling centre and carry waste in. You still need to book your visit - there is an option on the booking form for pedestrians. 

Opening times

Open daily 9am - 4pm

Open on bank holidays but closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.

The recycling centre may be closed for periods of up to 30 mins during opening hours. This is to allow service vehicles to empty or change the bins.
