Millions of pounds of cuts and savings, plus a 4.99pc rise in council tax bills for people across Norfolk, have been approved by county councillors.
Conservative-controlled Norfolk County Council's budget, agreed at a full council meeting, includes almost £60m of savings.
But Tory leaders said more money will be spent overall and described the budget as "positive".
The savings include £28m from adult social care and £12.5m from children's services, while Mayton Wood Recycling Centre near Coltishall is earmarked for closure.
Plans to close all recycling centres on Wednesdays were scrapped.
A number of stops on the route of the county's mobile libraries will also be removed.
The budget is based on a 4.99pc increase in the share of council tax paid to the county council, which will add between £51 and £152 a year to annual bills for people across Norfolk.
Andrew Proctor, the council's leader, said the government should better fund councils, telling councillors: "We are grossly underfunded for what we have to do."
But he said, despite the challenges, the budget meant more would be spent next year, while frontline services will be protected.
On the council tax rise, he said: "I don't like doing that and I am sure others do not either. But we have been pushed in that direction. Funding councils in this way is not sustainable."
The proposals also include saving £17m through a strategic review carried out by consultants, with staff waiting to discover if their jobs will be affected.
Labour and Green opposition groups, plus independent councillor Alexandra Kemp, tabled budget amendments which were lost.
Labour group leader Steve Morphew said the budget failed to address the "broken care market" and that the strategic review was not strategic.
Liberal Democrat councillor Dan Roper criticised the "last minute" proposal to close the "much-loved" Mayton Wood Recycling Centre.
