Asbestos at the re3 recycling centres

Note

Island Road and Longshot Lane

Reading Borough Council lists asbestos as DIY waste at its recycling centre. According to the re3 partnership, it is accepted at Island Road in Reading and at Longshot Lane in Bracknell, by separate booking, and deposited in a separate part of the site.

Confirm the current charge with re3 before visiting. None of the council pages we reviewed stated that it collects asbestos from homes.
