The City of Reading is organizing a community-wide clean-up effort with its upcoming “Dumpster Day” event, scheduled for Saturday, May 17, 2025. From 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., residents will have the opportunity to dispose of bulky household items at designated locations throughout the city.
The initiative is part of the city’s broader effort to promote a cleaner and greener environment, encouraging residents to declutter their homes and neighborhoods.
Dumpster Day will feature eleven drop-off sites for public use, including: Baer Park, West Oley & McKnight, Hampden Boulevard & Perry Street, 10th & Chestnut, 3rd & Spruce, 18th & Forrest, Reading Iron, Pear & Elm and Centre Park Artifacts Bank on 5th Street.
Residents are reminded that certain items will not be accepted, including tires, used oil, household chemicals, paint, televisions, and appliances.
For more information, residents are encouraged to contact Ryan Bradley, Clean City Coordinator, at Ryan.Bradley@ReadingPA.gov or by calling 484-509-7230.
