Recycling collected from supermarket points, like plastic wrappers, is processed separately from regular kerbside recycling. In King's Lynn, these items are not allowed in the green recycling bin but can be dropped off at designated plastic bag recycling points in supermarkets.
Once collected, the borough's general recycling is sent to the Norse Environmental Waste Services plant in Norwich, where it is sorted and processed for recycling.
Here’s a quick overview of the recycling process:
| Recycling Step | Details |
|---|---|
| Drop-off Location | Supermarket plastic bag recycling points |
| Processing Facility | Norse Environmental Waste Services plant in Norwich |
| Sorting Technology Used | Latest technology for effective sorting |
