Frequently Asked Questions

What deposit do I get back per bottle or can?

Standard beer, soda, water, and wine-cooler containers earn 5¢ each. Wine and spirits containers (under 4 liters) earn 15¢ each under Maine's Bottle Bill.

Do I need a CLYNK account to redeem containers here?

No. The indoor reverse-vending machines give on-the-spot cash or voucher redemption without an account. CLYNK bags require a free CLYNK account so the credit posts to your balance.

Can I drop off containers from out-of-state purchases?

Only containers with a Maine deposit mark are eligible for redemption. Out-of-state containers — even if they look identical — are not covered by Maine's program and will be rejected.
