Can you recycle rope, string & netting?
Like hoses and cables, rope and netting wrap around sorting-line shafts. Natural fibre string (jute, cotton) can be composted cut small; synthetic rope is general waste.
Tips
- Garden twine (natural) composts; nylon line doesn't
Which bin does it go in?

Before throwing it away, see reuse, repair and donation routes.
