Headed to the Compost Area? Make Sure You Cover Your Load
The Reading Police Department is strictly enforcing traffic laws.

From the Reading Police Department:
The Reading Police Department hopes everyone had a nice summer.
The fall season is quickly approaching. We wanted to inform the community of a concern posted by several area residents. Many of us benefit from the use of the Town’s compost area. To ensure safety and to be considerate to all area residents, please cover your loads, and also monitor your speed. Thank you for addressing these issues as to accommodate resident’s concerns.
