Norfolk County Council has yet to confirm that the ban, which it was forced to introduce after a blaze at the Norfolk depot which processed many electrical items, is about to be lifted.
But posts on Facebook, from people who appear to have inside knowledge, have suggested the tips will accept all items again from Monday (July 13).
It is understood the county council intends to make an announcement and provide further details on Thursday (July 9).
The partial ban on electrical items has been in place at Norfolk’s recycling centres since April.
It was introduced after a fire at Wiser Recycling at Thetford, which Norfolk County Council used to process many of the electrical items people take to tips.

The company then stopped operating after it lost its treatment facility approval.
It left County Hall with no legal way to deal with much of the electrical waste which people take to its 19 recycling centres.
The council had to apply to a national scheme to be appointed with a new contractor, which took some time to conclude.
In the meantime, recycling centres were able to accept washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers and cookers.
Later, they were also able to take cookers, TVs, monitors and laptops, but not smaller electrical items, batteries, light bulbs and fluorescent tubes.
Council officials had urged people to hang on to electrical items in the meantime.
They asked people not to fly-tip such items or to put electrical items in with normal rubbish, as those can spark fires.
A blaze last month, at the Longwater Recycling Centre in Costessey, was thought to have been cause by a lithium-ion battery dumped in rubbish.
When compacted in bin lorries, the cells in those batteries become damaged, causing “fast, fierce and sometimes fatal” fires.
