READING — Town Manager Jayne Wellman used the latest episode of her "Reading Between the Lines" podcast to walk residents through changes to the town's rubbish and recycling program, the most substantive update out of Town Hall in the past day.

TOWN HALL

Wellman's podcast, produced with RCTV, released a new episode focused on what's changing in how Reading collects and sorts household trash and recyclables. The show is Wellman's monthly vehicle for explaining Town Hall business directly to residents, and this installment centers on the rubbish and recycling program specifically, though the town's website summary did not spell out the new sorting or collection details.

Separately, the town said work continues to progress at the Reading Center for Active Living (ReCAL) site, though officials did not release new specifics on timeline or scope in this update.

COMING UP

Reading's Conservation Commission is scheduled to meet Wednesday, Aug. 26, according to the town's public meeting calendar.
