Other Initiatives
 

Here you will find information on other Programs/Initiatives that we are involved in at Keep Martin Beautiful.

Recycling or disposing of monofilament fishing line helps habitat, keep beaches and waterways clean, and encourages good environmental practices. Adopting a bin allows community clubs and organizations to actively participate in keeping our environment clean, provides community service and a sense of accomplishment and ownership to those who participate in the program.

Once you adopt an outdoor bin, your organization receives an outdoor bin and sign to be placed in a predetermined location, and a list of local participating tackle shops to drop off the collected fishing line. Groups also receive a packet containing information regarding safety procedures, bin checking guidelines and bin placement procedures. A volunteer tool kit which holds all the necessary equipment needed to check the bin is also provided. (Volunteers should fill out your organization’s waiver form before they begin checking the bin… safety first!).

 
 
 
 


A commitment form will be included in your packet. This form ensures that your organization will continually check, empty, and deliver recyclable fishing line for at least one year. If a club/organization wishes to end this commitment, notify your local MRRP representative so that a new volunteer can be found to continue maintaining the outdoor bin.

Please fill out the registration form and send it and the check for $75 to the address provided. Within several days of receiving the form, a MRRP representative will contact your club/organization to set up a location for the bin you are adopting and send the materials. The location must be approved by authorities, before a bin may be placed.

The one time fee $75.00 fee includes the outdoor bin, sign, outdoor bin tool kit, brochures (100), stickers, and forms.
