Menunkatuck Joins in Fishing Line Recycling Program



Menunkatuck has installed these cool fishing line recycling bins at several locations within our chapter area. Please deposit all fishing line you use (or find) into these bins to protect birds and other wildlife from entanglement. The bins will be emptied and the fishing line collected to be recycled by the following volunteers and town/state staff.
  • Guilford Town Marina - maintained by marina staff
  • Lake Quonnipaug boat launch, Guilford - maintained by Lorrie Shaw and Cindi Kobak
  • Hammonasset Beach State Park, Madison (5 locations within the park) - maintained by park staff
  • Madison/Guilford boat launch off Neck Road – maintained by Bob Kuchta
We plan to install several more recycling bins in the future at fishing sites in Branford and West Haven. If you know of an appropriate site and would like to volunteer to maintain a bin, please contact Cindi Kobak at program@menunkatuck.org.
