We need your help!  Please dispose of your
monofilament fishing line properly.
Fish killed by monofilament
When monofilament line is not properly discarded it becomes a hazard to fish,
wildlife, and recreation in our rivers, lakes, and surrounding lands.  Fish and other
wildlife can ingest or become wrapped in monofilament making them unable to
avoid predators, hunt for food and ultimately die.  

Even when disposed of in trash bins, line goes to the landfill and creates the same
hazards to wildlife.  It persists in the environment for 600 years.

If your line becomes tangled in a tree or underwater, remove as much of the waste
line as possible.  When changing your line, keep the old line and collect any line you
find.  You can deposit it in any of our recycling tubes or boxes.  

Your recycled monofilament is made into useful plastic products like
fishing gear
boxes
and fish habitat.
