Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Monofilament Recovery & Recycling Program builds, installs, and maintains monofilament recycling bins throughout Washington State. The program, initiated in 2016, has helped place over 140 recycling receptacles at freshwater and marine fishing locations across the state. Public employees and volunteers empty the bins monthly. Puget Sound Corps (part of the Washington Conservation Corps) crew members funded by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) sort the contents of each bin and isolate the monofilament line to be packaged for recycling. In just the first few years of the program over 142,000 feet of monofilament line was recovered from the bins for recycling.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
