CHEDEMPTION 2026 We had another fantastic Chedemption season in 2025! Over 2,100 CLYNK bags were shipped off the island, at no charge, by Casco Bay Lines. This removed more than 34,000 pounds of glass, plastic and aluminum from the waste stream. We celebrate the continued savings for tax payers and, more importantly, we are doing incredible recycling and making money! The Chedemption Committee is once again asking for your assistance in bagging up returnables during the summer months. The 27 hours that participating organizations volunteered in 2025 resulted in $600 for each group! We are hoping for another successful year of Chedemption and know it will happen with your help. Due to safety and insurance concerns, children under 18 cannot volunteer. Disposable gloves and hand cleaner will be inside the shed. You do not have to belong to an organization to volunteer to help during their week. Please feel free to contact the organization of your choice or any of the folks listed below to sign up!
