Morningthorpe Recycling Centre near Long Stratton will close permanently on November 1 after the landowner declined to extend its 25-year lease.
The Norfolk County Council-run Morningthorpe Recycling Centre near Long Stratton will close permanently on 1 November, with the last day of operation on 31 October. The closure follows the end of a 25-year lease. The landowner confirmed the lease could not be extended beyond February 2027, prompting the council to shut the centre a few months early to return the land in the required condition.
The closest alternative for local people is Norwich South Recycling Centre and Reuse Shop, located on Ipswich Road off the A140/A47 roundabout. It is Norfolk's most modern recycling centre and accepts a wider range of materials than Morningthorpe, including fridges, freezers, plasterboard, upholstered seating, tyres and trade waste. The site has capacity for additional visitors.
Norwich South also includes a reuse shop where people can donate unwanted items or buy preloved goods. A booking is required to bring waste to the facility, but not to visit, donate to or buy from the reuse shop.
