You need to use staticfiles_storage.path() to read the file. staticfiles_storage.url() will return the URL that a user will use to load the static file on your site

STATIC_ROOT is where all static files will be stored after you run collectstatic, most of the time this is set to <root of the project>/static/. This is also where staticfiles_storage.path() will look for static files.

You will also need to set STATICFILES_DIRS so that your file(s) can be found by collectstatic. I usually have a folder located at <root of the project>/<project name>/static/ which I add to STATICFILES_DIRS
