As the "Heart of the Lakes Area," Commerce Township is offering an opportunity for you to recycle your shrink-wrap boat cover as you prepare for the boating season. Let's work together to help keep our lakes clean and reduce space in our landfills.
Purchase a recycling bag for $8 at the Commerce Township Treasurer's Office (available now). Remove your cover from your boat and place it in the bag. Drop of your bag at Commerce Township Hall - there is a designated area near our garbage dumpster (west of the building).

HOW TO PREPARE BOAT SHRINK WRAP FOR RECYCLING:
STEP ONE:
Cut the shrink wrap just above the perimeter band, going around the entire boat.
STEP TWO:
After removing all vents, zipper doors, strapping, and buckles, begin removing your shrink wrap cover. Try to keep the shrink wrap as clean as possible.
STEP THREE:
Stuff your EZ-Fill Bag with your boat wrap. If storing outside, turn sealed bag upside down until pickup and do not overstuff bags - make sure to use supplied closure device to seal the bag.
PLEASE NOTE:
- The bags must ONLY contain shrink-wrap covers.
- Make sure to exclude all strapping, buckles, vents, and other contaminants from the bag.
- Shrink wrap must remain clean and dry.
- Drop off period will be May 1 - June 6
