Signs have been put up at the sites to warn people about the change.

The closure of Docking Recycling Centre, Norfolk's least-used site, has been delayed until later in the year while the council works with the community to explore other recycling options.

Proposals for a new �1m Dereham Recycling Centre are at the planning application stage, subject to planning consent, and the centre should open later in 2010/11.
Recycling centres are for the recycling and disposal of household waste, not trade waste.
Re-use Shelters now operate at Caister, Hempton, Ketteringham, King's Lynn and Mayton Wood. These allow visitors to buy reusable items for a small charge. Proceeds from sales are split between the council, the site contractor and local charities.
Further information and opening times for the recycling centres can be found at www.norfolk.gov.uk/recyclingcentres
