Easy Ways to Get the Lead Out!
We’re making it simple and convenient for everyone to safely dispose of old lead fishing tackle (sinkers, jigs, weights – any condition!) and switch to lead-free alternatives. Bring your lead items to any of these drop-off points throughout the season – no questions asked, and you’ll help protect our loons and lakes.
Permanent & Seasonal Drop-Off Spots:
- At the 4 executive members’ cottages (contact the Drag and Spruce Lakes Executive for exact addresses and to make arrangements – perfect for year-round or off-season drops).
- Dominique Binckly
- Rob Norris
- Suzanne Montgomery
- Rick Wesselman
- Directory pickup during the May long weekend – hand in your lead tackle when you grab your new lake directory.
- All our lake events throughout the summer – we’ll have collection stations set up and ready.
Special Highlight: Our AGM in July
Bring your lead tackle to the Annual General Meeting for a chance to win prizes in our Lead Swap Contest! Trade in your old lead for free lead-free samples, enter draws for DSLPOA merchandise, and enjoy the fun while supporting the cause.
All collected lead will be responsibly disposed of to ensure it never re-enters the environment.
Quick Tip: Clean out your tackle box now – every piece you drop off makes a difference for our wildlife!
