Town of Easton would like to remind residents of its Community Choice Power Supply Program. This Program is a municipal aggregation which enables local government to combine the purchasing power of its residents and businesses to provide them with an alternative
to National Grid Basic Service. The standard aggregation rate is $0.10287/kWh, below the November 1, 2022 – April 30, 2023 National Grid Basic Service rate of $0. 33891/kWh. Assuming a conservative 600 kWh/month rate of consumption,
<b><i>Easton households in the aggregation program will be</i></b> <b><i>saving an average of $141.62 per month over the next six months for a cumulative saving on energy supply costs of $849.74 per household during National Grid current winter rate period

Instead, they must be recycled. No municipal pick up of mattresses or box springs is provided by the Town of Easton. Residents may contract directly with a private company for pick-up and recycling services. Below is the contact information for one such private
company, HandUp, that offers mattress pickup services in Easton. The Town has no contractual or other relationship with HandUp or any other company, and neither endorses or warrants the services provided by any such company, but is providing contact information
only as a courtesy to our residents. Residents can directly contact HandUp to make an appointment for the curbside pickup of a mattress and/or box spring by going directly to this website or by calling (774) 271-8744. Please note curbside pickup will occur
one time per month. The charge for each mattress or box spring is $47.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

Lifesaver is an innovative rapid response program designed specifically for families living with Alzheimer's Disease, Dementia, Down Syndrome, Autism, and related disorders. By using the most reliable technology available and specially trained personnel,
Project Lifesaver teams can quickly locate and return wandering adults and children to their families or caregivers. Participants of the Project Lifesaver program wear a personalized one-ounce battery operated wristband that emits a tracking signal every
second, 24 hours a day. Each wristband has a unique radio frequency.<br>
When someone in the program is reported missing, a search and rescue team responds to the area and starts searching with the mobile locator tracking system. Search times have been reduced from hours and days to minutes. Recovery times average less than 30
minutes.<br>
