.....old shrink wrap disposal?
 

This has probably come up before ....... but it's a first time shrink wrap experience for me ........ so's will the Meredith transfer station take used shrink wrap that has been removed from a boat?

Well I find this really hard to believe. FLL can't think of a use for used shrink wrap. Now if someone else was the OP, he would offered up several.:D

New Tarp for the wood pile & retire his current 30 yr old tarp ? :D


Just messin with ya FLL ...... you laid a slow pitch over the plate with this post !
.

I don't know the specific answer for Meredith, but mine was taken with the normal recycling in my town (Londonderry).

I just took my wrap off on Tuesday and the transfer station in Moultonborough took it as household trash. Just didn't take the wood part as I will burn that this spring.

Just checked with the big boss down at Meredith Transfer, and he said the plastic wrap goes into the trash, and the lumber supports go into the nearby construction debris dumpster ........ pretty easy-peasy!

It came with the new-used 1997 boat, don't you know it ...... going with shrink wrap is just so totally over-luxurious and expensive .....when some old 2x3's, a sailboat mast and a reusable tarp or two gets it done for sooooooo muuuuuuuuch lessssssss mooooooooney ..... and thank-you very much:rolleye2:!

I thought you would return it and get your money back.

Recycle shrink wrap
 

Back when NHRBA was alive, the organization found a need to recycle the shrink wrap. Back then some transfer station will take it as trash and some will not take them! The committee found one marina actually burying the shrink wrap! The organization found one outfit in Mass. that will pay to recycle the shrink wrap. One spring they had a recycle program where everyone bring their shrank wraps to Channel Marine. They had volunteers collect the shrink wrap and hauled it to Mass. I understand they made a few thousand dollars.

Not sure now, if you can get money, but it will be a worthy cause for an organization like the Youth sailboat program or the Loon Sanctuary to make money and save the environment!

Yes ....... u-know there is absolutely no reason ....... whatsoever.......that the State of New Hampshire's State Liquor Commission could not set up a program where recycled boat cover shrink wrap such as mine, and all those left-over, cardboard, empty liquor boxes, down at the state liquor stores could not be combined into a building block material that could be used to build homes for all the homeless nitwits who vote for Bernie Sanders!:D:laugh:

Re-use it!
 

Believe it or not if you take the shrink wrap off carefully (cutting the cinch line carefully and then tying in an extra piece) you can reuse the same piece of shrink wrap for 4 or 5 seasons! I had an older boat (15 footer)for over ten years and only paid to have it shrink wrapped twice but got the benefit all ten years! Works great and save me a lot of money-try it.

my recycling takes it in Ma. a neat trick if you have a heat gun...you can shrink it to about soccer ball size :)
