The Atlantic Depot brings the Ocean Plastic Depot network to the East Coast. It accepts rope and netting only, so that end-of-life and recovered fishing gear from Nova Scotia can be recycled instead of becoming ghost gear or landfill.
Send a message with what you have and roughly how much. We will share location details and timing.
This depot takes rope and netting. Please keep traps, metal and other debris out of your load.

Rope and netting only. Other marine debris is not accepted at this depot.
After Hurricane Fiona, Ocean Legacy received funding through Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s Ghost Gear Fund to expand marine plastic collection and processing in Atlantic Canada, including rope shredding and baling capacity in Nova Scotia.
That work is done with partners including Coastal Action, Scotia Recycling and Full Circle Plastics, which makes lumber products from material collected during cleanups.
