Clean Wake Engine Take-Back
In Operation: July 2010 - Present
Improving air and water quality by rewarding the retirement of old high-polluting outboard motors.
Clean Wake helps you float a better boat by providing an easy way to responsibly recycle your old conventional two-stroke outboard motor, and giving you an incentive to do it.
Bring in your old conventional two-stroke outboard motor to a participating marina and we’ll recycle it responsibly for you. The first 50 program participants to bring in their engine will receive a $100 gift certificate towards purchases at the participating marina.
When compared to four-stroke engines an old two-stroke outboard produces and emits:
- 50 per cent more CO
- 15 times more gas and oil
- 12 times more carcinogenic or mutagenic toxins
By retiring 50 old two-stroke engines Clean Wake will reduce harmful emissions by 15,835 kilograms, the equivalent of about 25 round-trip flights from Toronto to New York.
It’s all made possible through our industry supporters: the Ontario Marine Operators Association, the Federation of Ontario Cottagers Associations, Sandy Cove Marine, Paris Marine and Gordon Bay Marine.
Clean Wake events will be taking place in Ontario’s cottage country on Saturdays September 25th and October 2nd from 9am to 3pm. Events will be held at:
Sandy Cove Marine
1982 Commerce Pk. Dr.
Innisfill, ON
Paris Marine
2980 Lakefield Rd
Peterborough, ON
Gordon Bay Marine
55A Hatherley Rd
