Residents now have an additional day each week to drop off hard-to-recycle materials at the Reading DPW recycling center.

The Town of Reading is reminding residents that curbside trash and recycling collection will fully transition to automated collection starting Monday, July 6, 2026.

Friday’s route will run as scheduled on June 19, no delay this week, despite the Juneteenth holiday.

Starting July 6, large items must be scheduled in advance through Republic Services, curbside bulk item collection no longer included in standard pickup.

Reading residents are reminded that rubbish collection will be delayed by one day this week due to the holiday.

The Town of Reading is preparing residents for major changes to curbside trash and recycling collection beginning this summer.

The Department of Public Works (DPW), in partnership with Republic Services, will conduct curbside leaf collection during the weeks of April 13 and April 27.

Residents looking to clear out old or unwanted metal items will have an easy opportunity to do so next week.
