Collection Site

What is a Collection Site?

A Collection site is a public or private site that collects boat wrap waste from individual and/or commercial boat wrap generators. 

This includes but is not limited to, recycling centers, material recovery facilities (MRFs), transfer stations, boat marinas, boat dealers, boat storage facilities, etc.

If your business generates large volumes of boat wrap and isn’t yet participating, we invite you to join the program. You’ll receive straightforward guidance on how the program works and how to participate, helping expand and strengthen the collection network.

Questions? We Have Answers!

Collection sites serve as a critical connection point within the program by providing accessible locations for the receipt of recycle-ready boat wrap. Their participation enables the efficient flow of materials through the recycling system and supports consistent collection during peak seasons. Through proper operation and coordination, collection sites help advance the program’s objectives and strengthen a circular approach to boat wrap recycling.
