Did you know? Fishing tackle made from lead can poison loons, eagles and other wildlife if they ingest it. Help keep lead out of the environment and protect wildlife by participating in Ramsey County’s lead tackle exchange program. It’s free! Just bring lead sinkers and other lead tackle to a Ramsey County household hazardous waste collection site. Staff will exchange it for lead-free sinkers and tackle. There is a limit of one exchange per household, per visit – while supplies last.

Not sure if your tackle is made of lead? Try rubbing the tackle on a piece of paper. If it leaves a streak, then it’s likely lead.
