Spring is in the air and boaters are eager to get back on the water.
Naturally, some preparations are necessary before a boat can be launched. For an increasing number of Maryland boaters, one of the first spring time chores is removal of the plastic shrink wrap that has protected their vessels from winter's wrath. Baltimore County residents or businesses may bring their shrink wrap to Eastern Landfill on Days Cove Road in Whitemarsh or to the State Highway Administration lot on Peninsula Expressway in Dundalk between March 15 through July 15 approximately. Kent County will be collecting shrink wrap at the transfer site on Earl Nicholson Road in Chestertown. Queen Anne's County is undertaking a pilot shrink wrap recyling program this year.
