Can Shrink Wrap be Recycled at Toronto Marinas in the Spring?

Yes, responsible recycling of used marine shrink wrap is available at several Toronto-area marinas in the spring. This initiative is supported by the Government of Ontario’s Plastic Bag Reduction & Waste Diversion program to keep materials out of landfills and support a circular economy.

To ensure your shrink wrap is accepted for recycling, follow these requirements:

  • Drop-off Locations: Facilities such as Outer Harbour Marina and Bluffer’s Park Marina serve as collection points. You should check with your specific marina office for seasonal collection dates.
  • Material Preparation: Most facilities only accept clean, unfolded panels. You must ensure the wrap is free of staples and strapping to prevent contamination of the recycling lines.
  • Sizing: It is recommended to cut the film into 4-foot by 4-foot panels for easier folding and pickup.

By following these steps, boat owners can ensure their used wrap is transformed into new plastic products and help keep Ontario waterways clean.
