YOU MAY NOTICE SOMETHING NEW BY

THE TAR RIVER AT GREENVILLE'S

TOWN COMMON.

TODAY.. A NEW "FISHING LINE

RECYCLING TUBE" WAS INSTALLED.

IT'S LOCATED AT THE BOAT RAMP..

AND WILL HELP KEEP THE DOCK FREE

OF USED FISHING LINE AND HOOKS..

WHICH CAN POSE SAFETY ISSUES TO

PEOPLE AND ANIMALS IN

AND AROUND THE RIVER.

"KNEE DEEP ADVENTURES" AND

"KEEP GREENVILLE BEAUTIFUL"

PARTNERED

WITH THE "RIVER GUARDIANS" TO

MAKE IT POSSIBLE.

"THE IDEA BEHIND THESE TUBES

THAT WE'VE PUT UP IS

THAT'S AN OUTLET OR CONVENIENCE

PLACE TO PUT

THEIR FISHING LINES INSTEAD OF

LEAVING IT OUT IN THE

ENVIRONMENT."

WHILE THE TUBE IS NEW TO

GREENVILLE.. THEY HAVE BEEN

INSTALLED ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY

-- AND HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE.

IT'S ESTIMATED TO TAKE 400 YEARS

FOR FISHING LINE TO DECOMPOSE.
