Choose a marine business committed to shrink wrap recycling!
Are you a Michigan boater who is...
- Looking to join a marina that prioritizes recycling and sustainability?
- In need of a winterization and/or unwrapping service that typically recycles shrink wrap?
- Searching for a sustainability-minded community or boat club?
You've come to the right place!
During Michigan's colder months, boaters and marina operators use plastic shrink wrap to insulate and protect their vessels. Like other film plastics, shrink wrap cannot be recycled at the curb.
That's why the Michigan Recycling Coalition promotes and supports Recycle Run, a program that collects and recycles bags of boat shrink wrap from around the state. In 2025 alone, our program partners collected over 60 tons of shrink wrap from dozens of collection points.
Listed below are shrink wrap recycling superstars - the Michigan marine businesses, groups, and communities that have participated in the Recycle Run program for at least two years in a row.
This page includes, but is not limited to:
- Marinas
- Boat shops
- Service/repair centers
- Boat clubs
- Townships that operate boat shrink wrap collection programs
Please note that these locations may not accept Recycle Run bags for drop-off. If you prefer to participate in the program by filling Recycle Run bags with shrink wrap and taking them to a drop-off location, a list of locations will be available starting in either March or early April.
