The Norfolk County Council-run Morningthorpe Recycling Centre near Long Stratton will be closed permanently from November 1, with the last day of operation on October 31.
The site is closing following the end of a 25-year lease which the landowner confirmed could not be extended beyond February 2027.

As a result, the centre is shutting a few months prior to return the land in the required condition.
The closest alternative for local people to use is Norwich South Recycling Centre and Reuse Shop in Ipswich Road, off the A140/A47 roundabout.
It is Norfolk’s most modern recycling centre and accepts a wider range of materials, including fridges, freezers, plasterboard, upholstered seating, tyres and trade waste.
The site has capacity for additional visitors and includes a reuse shop where people can donate unwanted items or buy preloved goods.
A booking is needed to bring waste, but not to visit, donate to or buy from the reuse shop.
