Shrink wrap can be recycled

Michigan is home to a vibrant boating community, with more than 800,000 registered boats across the state. To protect these vessels from the elements during the off-season, many boaters and marinas rely on plastic shrink wrap.

While effective, this material isn’t accepted in curbside recycling programs, and once spring rolls around shrinkwrap usually goes into the trash.

There’s a statewide effort underway to recycle boat shrinkwrap.
