AN innovative community project has been set up in Weymouth to help anglers and beach litter-pickers safely dispose of fishing tackle and hooks. New Line Pipe Bins have been strategically placed along the local coastline for people to deposit angling debris, which is then recycled. The bins are made from recycled lengths of pipe and have been adopted by volunteers from an environmentally-minded community group, ‘Paws on Weymouth Beaches & Open Spaces, which has been overseeing the project, thanks to funding from Litterfree Coast & Sea. Jane Fuhrmann, a member of Paws on Weymouth Beaches & Open Spaces, said: We all know the damage fishing line can do to our wildlife - our members collect it daily from our shores, often with dangerous hooks attached.
