Frequently Asked Questions
How does bottle return work at Yarmouth Redemption Center?
You bring your Maine-deposit cans and bottles to the staffed counter, they are counted, and you receive the deposit refund in cash. No special bag or account is needed, unlike the CLYNK bag-drop station nearby.
What is the deposit amount on Maine containers?
Maine's Returnable Container Act sets a 5-cent deposit on most beverage cans and bottles, with a 15-cent deposit on some containers. The full list is maintained by the Maine DEP at maine.gov.
Is this the same as the CLYNK station at 750 US Rte 1?
No. CLYNK is an automated bag-drop system requiring a CLYNK account and green bags; the Yarmouth Redemption Center is a separate staffed business where you hand containers over the counter for immediate cash.
What if I have recyclables beyond deposit containers?
Yarmouth residents can bring cardboard, paper, metals, glass and other household recyclables to the Yarmouth Recycling Transfer Center at 659 East Main Street — open Mon 7–3 and Thu–Sun 8:30–4:30 with a valid sticker.
