Improperly disposed of fishing line is major threat to both coastal and inland fishing areas. It threatens marine life, damages boats, and fouls propellers. Recycling your old fishing line is one of the best actions you can take to solve these issues. The easiest way to do so is by volunteering to build and maintain a fishing line recycling location at a fishing spot near you. Simply use the video on this page to construct your own fishing line recycling bin. Then, install that bin in a high traffic fishing area near you. BoatUS provides signs and decals for fishing line recycling bins for free or at significant discounts. When the recycling bin is full, separate any trash and send the collected line to Berkley Conservation for Recycling for processing.
