Please cast away old fishing lines, hooks in these new bins

Local anglers now have somewhere to toss their used line when they're done with it.

The city is partnering with Parks Canada to launch the ‘Clear your Gear’ initiative, which aims to keep fishing lines out of waterways and landfill sites and promote sustainable tourism keeping wildlife and residents safe from the hazards of discarded fishing lines.

‘Clear your Gear’ fishing line receptacles have been placed in popular spots around Sault Ste. Marie Canal and Whitefish Island. Anglers can deposit waste fishing lines into marked receptacles where Parks Canada volunteers and staff remove hooks, leaders, weights, and trash before sending them to Clear your Gear for recycling.
