Recycling, garden and household waste has still been collected, with services continued during the midst of the coronavirus outbreak and self-isolation.

And youngsters in the district have been putting up pictures and leaving crews messages to show their support.

Annette Joyce, regional director for Serco, which operates Breckland’s waste service, said: “We truly appreciate all the support the community are showing our teams and they’re working exceptionally hard to ensure key waste and recycling services continue to be undertaken.

“A friendly wave if you see them will really help spur them on during this difficult period.”
