Program Rollout

Building a statewide recycling program for boat wrap is a big undertaking, and it’s important to do it right. The Wrap Recycle Right (WRR) Program will grow in phases to ensure operational stability and long-term success.

Scaling With Purpose

Building a statewide recycling program isn’t just about adding locations—it’s about creating a system that works. By growing in phases, WRR can carefully plan each step to ensure sites are fully prepared and the network operates smoothly.

This phased approach delivers a program that is reliable, with collection sites ready and well-equipped for boat owners; efficient, with materials transported to the nearest plastic film recycling plant; and accessible, with site locations chosen to serve areas with high boating activity and community demand.

Benchmarks for Program Success

WRR is committed to building a strong, accountable, and transparent recycling system for Minnesota. Your patience and support help make Wrap Recycle Right a long-term success for Minnesota’s lakes, rivers, and communities. These goals support Minnesota’s long-term environmental and waste-reduction priorities.
