November 1, 2022, MassDEP is expanding its current waste disposal bans to include mattresses and box springs. Landfills, transfer stations and waste-to-energy facilities across the Commonwealth will no longer accept mattress and box springs for disposal.
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>

a weekly call from one of our volunteers, where you can share stories or experiences, chat about current events, or just make small talk. This is also a great way to get to know some fellow seniors in town. If you are interested in enrolling to receive calls,
