From 31 December 2023 new Government regulations will allow residents of Bracknell Forest, Reading and Wokingham Boroughs to dispose of small amounts of DIY waste for free at re3 Recycling Centres (Longshot Lane, Bracknell and Island Road, Reading).
Under the new legislation, up to 100 litres of loose DIY waste, or one large item such as a sink or a bathtub brought into the site in a single visit will be accepted for free, at a maximum frequency of four visits over a four-week period. The DIY waste brought in by residents will be assessed at the site and any DIY waste that exceeds the allowance will be chargeable, at a normal rate.
