Turn your recyclables into cash for the Friends of the Library
CLYNK: Recycling for the Library
The Friends partner with the Village of Kinderhook Climate Smart Community Task Force to provide easy and convenient recycling of bottles and cans (anything that has a deposit). The CLYNK program reduces beverage container waste in our community and helps the Friends support the library.
Follow these simple steps:
- Pick up a CLYNK bag from the Library, located outside the library door available 24/7.
- Fill your bag with recyclable bottles and cans. Anything that has a deposit can be recycled with CLYNK, regardless of brand.
- When the bag is full, bring it to the CLYNK drop-off location at Hannaford.
