CLYNK is a bottle and can redemption program focused on promoting environmental sustainability through convenient and efficient recycling services. Operated in partnership with select Hannaford Supermarkets, CLYNK’s Albany location provides a user-friendly drop system that enables individuals and organizations to return deposit-eligible containers for redemption. Customers use pre-labeled, tagged bags to deposit containers in secure kiosks, and deposits are credited to their CLYNK account, which can be accessed online.
What sets CLYNK apart is its mission-driven approach to increase recycling rates while reducing contamination in the waste stream. The program encourages community involvement through the CLYNK to Give initiative, which allows nonprofits, schools, and community groups to raise funds by collecting returnables. Additionally, CLYNK provides impact tracking tools that allow users to see how much energy and material they’ve helped save by recycling. Known for its ease of use, environmental focus, and partnerships with local organizations, CLYNK plays a vital role in fostering a circular economy through convenient recycling incentives.
