Further information and Costs
We have a recycling bin for used fishing line at Hammonds Pond in Lightwater Country Park. Thank you to the Angling Trust (Thames Region) who donated the bin.
This environmentally-friendly way of dealing with old fishing lines reduces litter, avoids landfill and helps protect local wildlife. More info on the Anglers National Line Recycling Scheme
