Green trash and blue recycling carts will be delivered to homes; old bins can be dropped off or picked up curbside this summer
Reading, MA — Beginning on Tuesday April 8, the Town of Reading will roll out new trash and recycling carts to all households currently receiving Town collection. This will include a green trash cart and a blue recycling cart that will be delivered to your home. Each set of carts will have a doorhanger with important information on it, which you can also see here: www.readingma.gov/cartrollout.
Wondering how to dispose of your old carts or bins? The Town is offering two ways to dispose of your old carts, containers, or bins:
On Saturday May 17, residents can bring their old containers to the Recycling Drop-Off Event at the DPW Garage, 75 Newcrossing Road between 9AM – 1PM to be recycled.
