Thousands of people have seen their bin collection schedule change - as a new timetable comes into effect.
This week (February 26) marks the change for people across Breckland, as the district council looks to make its collection routes “more efficient".
Just over half of Breckland, which includes those living in Dereham, Swaffham, Watton, Thetford, Attleborough and the surrounding villages, will see a change to their waste and recycling collection day.
They will continue to be made weekly, with waste collected one week and recycling the next, on an alternate weekly basis.
The change has been prompted by the closure of the previous waste collection site and will minimise the distance that the collection crews need to travel.
Cllr Helen Crane, executive member for waste at Breckland Council, said last month: "By changing the routes our bin crews follow, we can minimise the number of miles they have to cover and ensure they are collecting everybody's rubbish as quickly and efficiently as possible.”
All households in Breckland should have received a leaflet with their new collection day in the first half of February.
