Recycling made easy with new Longshot Lane dump
July 13, 2009
Families will be able to recycle more easily following the opening of the household waste recycling centre in Longshot Lane today.
The dump has been transformed during the past 16 months and residents can now recycle a number of new materials including beverage cartons, mobile phones and printer cartridges.
The layout has been changed to improve the flow of traffic and there are covered areas to protect people from the weather.
Councillor Rob Stanton, from Wokingham Borough Council and re3 waste board chairman, said: “Longshot Lane is an exciting green redevelopment which will make it easier than ever to divert waste away from expensive and environmentally-unfriendly landfill sites."
The dump in Bracknell will be open from 8am until 8pm in the summer and until 6pm in the winter.
The centre has been redesigned and rebuilt by re3, the partnership between Bracknell Forest, Reading and Wokingham councils and Waste Recycling Group. The partnership was set up to increase the amount of waste that is reused, recycled and composted across the three boroughs and minimise the amount of waste sent to landfill.
