Boat Wrap Recycling

In 2024, Minnesota became the first state to pass a law creating a program to recycle the protective plastic film shrink-wrapped over boats during winter storage. Producers of boat wrap material sold in Minnesota are required to fund a program to collect discarded wrap for recycling into other plastic film products. This program allows boat owners to help prevent millions of pounds of waste wrap material from being deposited into landfills each year.

The program — Wrap Recycle Right — rolled out in the spring of 2026 with the establishment of wrap collection sites in select counties. View the online interactive map for site locations as they become available.
