Piranha Opens 30 Propeller Recycling Centers Throughout the U.S.

Piranha Propellers has teamed up with more than 30 of its local dealers and marinas to encourage boaters to recycle damaged propellers.

San Luis Obispo, CA, August 18, 2008 – In an effort to preserve the environment, keep costs down, and promote responsible recreation, Piranha Propellers has recruited 30 dealers and marinas to participate in a boat propeller recycling program. Authorized Piranha recycling collection centers will now collect damaged propeller blades that the factory will recycle. Once blades are sent back to the factory, they will undergo a low-energy regrinding process that will not compromise the material.

Boaters can find their local recycling centers by calling Piranha at 800-235-7767. This initiative is Piranha Propellers’ latest environmentally-friendly boating initiative.

To give boaters a cleaner propeller option, Piranha offers a 100% recyclable, non-corroding, composite modular propeller molded around an aluminum core. The strength of this combination provides lower unit protection without compromising performance. Additionally, the modular design allows boaters to replace damaged blades within minutes for less than the cost of repairs to metal propellers.

Piranha Propellers has been producing propellers for more than 20 years. “Boaters are our business,” says Sales Manager Pam Wolf. “Our objective is to provide the propellers that best meet our dealers’ and customers’ needs.” Boaters can now protect the integrity of boating by donating their used or broken propeller blades to Piranha recycling centers.
