That’s a wrap..


Uncover your future ….


So the docks are in, the dockside electric and water are on, now all we need is some boaters with their elbow grease at the ready.


First order of business is that blue cover that we lovingly call Shrink-wrap. It has protected your boat all winter so now we have to get it off and get it recycled to protect our planet.

  • First order of business is to carefully cut the straps off. And that means the one that is wrapped around the boat within the shrink-wrap itself. All straps must be taken out. The outer straps are most easily done while the wrap is on the boat.
  • Also included in the process is removing wood, staples,  doors, zippers, carpet or other padding. The only thing that should remain is the blue plastic. That is the only portion that can be put in the recycle bins. 
  • The wood should be labeled “front”, “Back” “Bow” “stern” or whatever your personal preference is for re-use next year. Saving both time and money.
  • Finally, you’re ready to roll. Once the material is free of the items listed above just fold it tight and roll it up. You can use the white banding material to tie it up neat. Put it under the bow of your boat and we’ll come to collect it.

That’s it folks. Just cut, clean, wrap, Recycle.

Have a happy Easter weekend, we hope to see you dockside!
