10am to 3pm

Rules
1. The shrinkwrap must be clean and dry
2. All vents, door and stickers must be removed
3. The belly band must be removed
4. The shrinkwrap must be bound with either a shrinkwrap strip or with shrinkwrap tape. Ropes, twine etc are not acceptable.

Coastal boatyards in Massachusetts annually use an estimated 130 tons of LDPE, according to a study by Haley & Aldrich, a national environmental consulting firm in Boston. Thanks to the Massachusetts Marine Shrink Wrap program around 25 percent, or 36 tons, of boat shrink wrap was recycled in 2002.
