If you are interested in participating in our program, but want to build your own bins, the video below outlines the process step by step. It's fairly easy to build a monofilament recycling bin and most of the supplies you'll need can be found at your local hardware or plumbing supply store.

Materials Needed:

  • 2 ft section of 6 inch PVC pipe
  • PVC Elbow
  • PVC Female Threaded Adapter
  • PVC Threaded Plug
  • Adhesive
  • Decals
  • Signs (email asuttles@boatus.com at the BoatUS Foundation for Decals and Signs)
  • You install the bin in a high traffic fishing area and agree to empty the bin, separate any trash and send the collected line to Berkeley Conservation for processing. We also ask that you keep track of the amount of line collected.

To use our online tracking system to report on your collected line, you'll need to register by filling out the form here
