📚 Free Books Available 📚
Books are one of the most commonly donated items at the re3 Recycling Centres’ Reuse Area. Last year alone, residents dropped off an amazing 57 tonnes of books for reuse. The re3read initiative ensures that as many of these books as possible remain within the local community, offering them for free to individuals and organisations such as schools, nurseries, care homes, and libraries.
By making books available at re3 Recycling Centres, the scheme not only encourages a second life for these books through their reuse but it reduces our environmental impact. This initiative also addresses community needs by improving access to books, bridging literacy gaps, and fostering a more inclusive and supportive society.
Through the re3read scheme, residents can take books free of charge from designated bookshelves at the Recycling Centres in Longshot Lane, Bracknell, and Island Road, Reading.
