Trash and
Recycle
Barrels
November 2023 Town Meeting Request
Article 7, Allocate $900,000 from Free
Cash to Trash and Recycle Barrels
Each home will receive:
One (1) 64-Gallon Trash Barrel
One (1) 64-Gallon Recycle Barrel
Roll-out will take place Summer 2024
year, paid to the DPW annually, not prorated
Homes can receive one additional recycle barrel at no cost
Residents can purchase overflow bags at retailers for $2/bag
DPW will work with residents who need smaller barrels on a
case-by-case basis
Why are we having this conversation?
In October 2022, Republic
Services purchased JRM, our
trash contractor. Service was
severely impacted for several
weeks
We have learned that
all trash companies
demandautomated
collection from
customers
What would a new
contract cost?
Vendor 1$ 2,140,430
Vendor 2$ 2,354,195
Vendor 3$ 2,340,000
Vendor 4*$ 1,850,600
AVERAGE$ 2,171,306
CURRENT COST: $1,181,384 contract
expires June 30, 2026
All six companies required automation,
manual collection: not an option
We foresee a large increase in solid waste
costs with our next contract
Are we unique with this concern?
Figures shared by Westford, MA:
April 2023 Town Meeting
Article 13, Borrowing $900,000 for
Trash and Recycle Barrels
Town Meeting Voted:
93 in the affirmative, 62 in the negative
Article 2/3rds Required, 10 votes short
Town Meeting Asked:
Why do we need to do this now?
Would we charge for an extra barrel? How much? Where
will the money go?
Will we provide smaller barrels?
Other questions?
Why do this now?
We heard loud and clear: manual collection is not an option!
Automated collection is safer, fewer employee injuries
More cost effective and will result in lower costs to the Town
Rolling out now will make the Town bid more attractive
Barrel costs will only continue to go up
In Summary:
1. Cheaper to do it now
2. Will make our bid more
competitive
3. Will give us plenty of time to work
out the issues
4. Will give residents better products
and services
Would we charge for an extra barrel?
Town will provide one 64-gallon for trash per household
Residents to pay $200 per yearfor a second trash barrel, this
is to cover solid waste transportation and disposal cost
Town will provide one 64-gallon for recycling per household,
second recycle barrel provided at no-cost
Other Communities:
1.Bedford $185/year
2.Burlington $150/year
3.Wakefield $150/year
4.Wilmington $150/year
5.Tewksbury $155/year
6.Methuen $100/year
7.Belmont $250/year
8.Lynn $132/year
9.Milton $156/year
(prices do not include any annual trash fees)
What will we do with the revenue?
All revenues from second barrels &
overflow bags will be placed in a
Revenues will be collected and only
used to offset future solid waste
costs
Appropriations can only be done by
Town Meeting and require a 2/3
majority vote
Town Accountant will report annually
the amount in the fund
Fund will offset rising future costs
Will we provide smaller barrels?
Yes! The Town will provide smaller, 32-gallon barrels to older
residents on a case-by-case
stores like Market Basket
Other Questions:
Will my trash be tracked?No, the barrels come with RFID chips, but
they are only used at distribution to verify each home received a barrel
Town will have a choice, all communities will be automated
Is the Town making money on this?No, any additional costs will be
used to offset future costs and must be approved by Town Meeting
A barrel is a tool for automation and for
control of our solid waste program, the Town will lose control if barrels
are not standardized and issued by the Town
Any other questions?
Next Steps:
Present to Finance Committee
Present to Select Board
Host Public Forum on Trash Collection
Hold Lunch & Learn at Senior Center
Demonstration of Trash Barrels at Community Events
Any other steps?

Presentation by Community Development Staff regarding MBTA Communities
Community Services Director Andrew MacNichol shared information on MBTA Communities.
The law was passed by the state and mandates that all cities and towns in the Metro-Boston
area allow for multi-family housing (3+ units) by right on a lot. There are 177 communities
going through this. Based on Readings designation of a Commuter Rail community, the
Town must comply with the law by the end of calendar year 2024. The law is trying to
increase housing stock with access to MBTA transportation, and alleviate the increasing
burden of housing costs.
Senior Planner Mary Benedetto explained that the biggest takeaway is that Reading does
currently comply with the law. And while Reading does currently have multiple multi-family
districts, the way they are currently written do not comply with the law for technical
reasons. There are multiple paths the Town can take to comply, and community input is
needed to help inform staff of the best fit for Reading. The hard deadline to comply with
the law is December 2024. Staff hopes to bring changes to Town Meeting in April 2024.
The Community Development Department is addressing this aggressive timeline in two
phases. The first phase is engagement to get the information needed to start narrowing
down ways to move forward, including a community survey. The second phase will consist
of a series of community forums.
The Planning Division has a detailed webpage dedicated to the MBTA Communities Process
with frequently asked questions. Mr. MacNichol and Ms. Benedetto noted that they need the
help of the Committee and residents to help spread the word.
Discuss BOLT Library Landscape Committee
Town Manager Fidel Maltez reviewed the concerns regarding the Library Landscape
Committee (LLC) plans from a finance standpoint, such as whether it is considered a capital
project, included in the capital plan, and whether there is a funding mechanism for it. He
met with the Library Landscape Committee and stated that they will ask the Board of
Library Trustees to include Community Development Director Andrew MacNichol, a Select
Board member, and himself, and he will ask if the BOLT might want a FINCOM member as
well.
Mr. Maltez explained that the LLC is in the dreaming and envisioning phase. At this point
there is no funding, and they are trying to identify a need. Joe McDonagh noted that at a
Trustee meeting, the BOLT seemed to indicate a plan to use operating money from the
Friends of the Reading Library, or the Reading Public Library Foundation endowment. If
anything will be built, it will be required to go through public bidding.
