Victorian fishers can now recycle their unwanted and broken fishing tackle. Tangaroa Blue’s Rig Recycle Program collects fishing line, reels, sinkers, spools and spool packaging so it can be repaired, reused and recycled. The program is supported by Sustainability Victoria’s Circular Economy Fund and will see 60 recycling bins deployed at key locations across the state. The Australian Marine Debris Initiative Database shows fishing litter is one of the top 10 items recovered during community clean-ups.
