My visit to Norfolk's fridge mountain

Old refrigerators are piling up nationwide due to limited disposal capacity and closures of processing facilities, causing significant waste management challenges. In Norfolk, over 3,000 fridges are stored at a site near Little Hautbois, reflecting a broader crisis as councils struggle to accept and properly recycle appliances containing harmful refrigerants. Fire incidents, increased appliance breakdowns, and reduced treatment plants have contributed to the backlog, leading to concerns about environmental hazards and fly-tipping. Authorities call for improved infrastructure and more resilient recycling solutions to address the ongoing storage and disposal issues.
