The most tedious part of recycling is separating the cans from bottles then bagging them up to bring to the facility. Imagine not having to do that anymore.
This morning, I joined Senator Martin and Rep. Hoxha for a tour of RecyclX, a 21,000-square-foot state-of-the-art redemption site that has truly revolutionized the way we recycle. The facility, made up of 25 full-time employees and 6 truck drivers takes in approximately 20,000 bags each day.
If you’re interested in an easier way to recycle, visit either of the Clynk bottle/can drop off sites located at Stop & Shop (Farmington Ave. or Pine Street). Here you can download and sign up for the app, print the QR code for your recyclables, fill the bag provided by Stop & Shop (no need to sort), and deposit your items into the machine. You will be paid through the app which takes a maximum of 48 hours to process. Shahil Kantesaria, CEO of RecyclX said most are paid within 24 hours.
