Default Used mono fishing line - recycle place?

Does anyone know of a tackle shop (store) that accepts used mono line?

I have 3,000+ yards I would like to recycle - I would rather not just throw it in the trash.

North of GSP Exit 88 is best here...

Thanks


Joe T.

Call your closest West Marine store & ask if they accept it.

Monofilament Fishing Line Recycling

Discarded monofilament fishing line can wreak havoc on the marine environment by entangling, injuring and killing marine birds and aquatic wildlife. It can also cost boaters thousands of dollars when it gets caught in boat propellers and other gear.

The New Jersey Coastal Management Program is partnering with the BoatU.S. Foundation and the BoatU.S. Angler Program to collect and recycle monofilament fishing line. The partnership has distributed collection bins and signs to the following locations:

Absecon Boat Ramp, Absecon, NJ

Bahrs Landing Marina, Highlands, NJ
Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, Barnegat Light, NJ

The bins are made of sturdy PVC pipe with an opening near the top in which to place used fishing line. Hooks, bobbers and other debris should be removed from the line before placement in the bin. No other trash or recyclable material should be placed in these bins. Please discard other material responsibly.

The host facility collects the material from the bins and ships it in postage paid boxes to Berkeley Conservation for recycling. Berkeley will send a replacement shipping box to the host facility.
