Monofilament recycling
Have old monofilament fishing line to dispose of?
Washington State Parks, the Department of Natural Resources and other cooperating agencies have monofilament recycling bins near many common fishing areas statewide.
While you are fishing, or if you find some monofilament fishing line by a shoreline or in the water, look for a monofilament bin to recycle your fishing line. Recycling tangled old line can save wildlife who might get caught in it, or eat it!
Park staff collect this monofilament and then ship it to the Berkley Pure Fishing Company in Iowa. Berkley melts the line down into raw plastic pellets that can be made into other plastic products including tackle boxes, spools for line, fish habitats, and toys. It is not made into more monofilament line
You can discard the line in a monofilament bin at a Washington state park or mail it to:
