Responsibly Shedding the Shrink Wrap
Stuff We Love
May 10, 2025
Lake Michigan may still be too chilly for a dip, but our boats are brave enough to go in the water now. As you’re bringing yours out of winter storage, think twice about tossing the shrink wrap in the trash. Irish Boat Shop—which has three locations in Traverse City, Harbor Springs, and Charlevoix—is hosting their annual shrink wrap recycle day on Saturday, May 17, from 9am to 12pm. This event saves hundreds of thousands of cubic feet from going into landfills, along with hundreds of thousands of kilowatts of energy and gallons of oil needed to break down this non-biodegradable product. Irish Boat Shop has partnered with Bay Area Recycling for Community and the Michigan Recycling Coalition to make this event possible. Learn more at irishboatshop.com/about/events.html.
