Major improvement works at the site started on 31 March 2008 and are scheduled to continue until the summer of 2009. The opening times during the construction period will be:

There may be times when the site needs to be closed at short notice because of the construction works, so please check the site is open before making your journey by:

The much needed improvements to modernise the facilities will include changing the layout of the site for better access and providing covered bays for residents to unload their vehicles. Recycling facilities will also be improved. For more information about the redevelopment, visit www.re3.org.uk
The facility is part of a joint waste disposal contract between Bracknell Forest, Reading and Wokingham councils and their contractor, the Waste Recycling Group (WRG). The 25-year contract is known as re3. Please visit re3's website for a list of what you can recycle at Longshot Lane. All re3 partners and WRG are committed to minimising waste and recycling as much of the rubbish brought to the civic amenity site as possible and have to achieve statutory government recycling targets.
