Issue7 Raised by the Community

by David Hutchison Nov 11, 2010

A resident goes to the Caister tip with various refuse in their car. Issue: people risk a puncture on the potholed dirt track that leads to the site! Issue: People risk of scratching the interior, ripping the seats, stinking the car out with rotting vegetation. GYP Views: 1. In effect this is asking residents to use our cars as a borough dust cart. 2. Many people are complaining about having the responsibility of waste disposal dumped on them.

Issue7 NCC Response

Norfolk County Council carries out inspections at all the recycling centres across Norfolk every month. On these inspections the condition of the hard standing within the site and the access road to the site is monitored. Please report any pot holes or repair work that is needed on the road that leads to the site, Pump Lane, to Norfolk’s Highways department so that they can carry out any necessary repair works. Email: highways@norfolk.gov.uk Web: https://online.norfolk.gov.uk/HighwayProblemReport/ Tel: 0344 800 8009 The recycling centres are in place for residents to dispose of additional waste and recycling that cannot be collected via the district kerbside collection service. At present Great Yarmouth Borough Council collects dry recyclables (paper, card, aerosols, cans and plastic bottles) and domestic general waste on an alternative weekly collection. It also offers a green waste collection in some areas (for a charge) and a chargeable bulky waste collection service. The kerbside collection service is designed to give the best possible service to the resident at the best value of the Norfolk tax payer. Boot liners can be purchased for most garden centres so residents can choose to use these when transporting items to the recycling centres. When the new re-use shelter opened at Caister in November 2009 Norfolk County Council did a ‘boot liner giveaway’ for the first fifty customers.
