Standish CLYNKs!

Standish CLYNKs! Deposit your applicable bottles/cans in our bins! Bottle deposit redemptions will go towards funding other sustainability efforts in the library and we will keep more items out of landfills.

Bins are located by the garbage/recycling bins on the first floor near the Cafe area and in the open seating area of the lower level.

To date, Standish has recycled 283 items!
