As reported yesterday by some news outlets, CLYNK will be closing its Biddeford, Maine processing facility in the coming months as part of a broader effort to modernize and strengthen our recycling operations.

We want to reassure our customers that will continue serving Maine customers, and you can keep using your CLYNK bags and drop-off locations as usual.

This transition is part of a longer-term investment in a more modern, reliable recycling system that will improve service and help support Maine’s Bottle Bill for years to come. We’ll share more details in the coming weeks, and we appreciate your continued trust in CLYNK.

Our website will be down for maintenance from 10 PM on May 19 until 6 AM on May 20 (EDT). Thanks for your patience!
