Separating our waste

When you visit Holkham, Pinewoods Holiday Park or the Wells Beach area look out for our bin bays and recycling stations showing you how to separate your waste correctly. Wherever possible, we prioritise using compostables, with majority of our food and drink being served in compostable packaging and cups.

This compostable packaging and food waste is taken to Envar’s in-vessel composting site at St Ives, Cambridgeshire. There, the waste will go through various stages, ultimately forming a compost which is high in nutrients and suitable for agriculture, building developments and horticulture including being spread on the kitchen garden in the Walled Garden.

Our recycling is processed in the UK and our general waste is incinerated rather than being sent to landfill where it generates electricity.

When visiting Holkham, we would be grateful if you could separate your waste correctly. Use our guides on the bins to help or ask a member of our team if you’re unsure.
