If you need a recycling container or yours is damaged, please contact RWS at 203-334-1660. Also, please refer to the Easton Courier article on June 15th regarding the contamination of Easton’s recycling mainly with plastic bags https://eastoncourier.news/2022/06/15/you-might-not-be-recycling-as-well-as-you-think/ Please keep in mind that the town pays fines or rather, the tax payors do for contamination.
Prior to the pandemic, I held a number of brown bag lunches or evening programs to reach out to the people of Easton. I believe we are now at a point where it is safe to go back to these and I have planned a meeting for June 28th at 7:00pm at Easton Town Hall.
