Maine’s bottle redemption law has driven me to the brink; or should I say Clynk? For the most part, it has functioned as designed and kept beverage containers out of landfills and off the side of our roads. For quite some time it was relatively easy to return and redeem the empty containers but that is no longer the case. Where once there were numerous redemption centers to choose from, now there are precious few. I gave in and established a Clynk account. I write this to share my frustration with the functionality of the beverage container law. I am sure I am not alone. ~ Steven Edmondson, Topsham
