Recycling Mystery: Can I Recycle Pickeballs?
SHARE

Pickleball, a sport that has been rapidly gaining popularity in America, is loved by many. However, one common issue that pickleball players face is what to do with old or damaged balls. Rather than simply throwing them away, many players are looking for ways to recycle these balls.

The first step in recycling pickleballs is to identify the type of plastic from which the ball is made. This information can usually be found on the packaging or by visiting the manufacturer’s website. Pickleballs are typically made of LDPE (#4 plastic), which is generally more recyclable.

To recycle pickleballs, players can use the Earth911 Recycling Locator to find nearby recycling facilities that accept #4 rigid plastic. However, it’s important to note that curbside programs and recycling centers may not accept pickleballs due to their small size and potential to jam sorting machinery. It’s recommended to call ahead before dropping off any pickleballs for recycling.

Several initiatives have been introduced to help players recycle their pickleballs more efficiently. P3 Pickleball has introduced collection boxes for use at local courts, which are then shipped back to the company for recycling when full. Other organizations and pickleball makers are also working on creating collection programs. Players can express their interest in participating in these initiatives to help promote pickleball recycling.

If no recycling options are available, players can try reusing old pickleballs for creative projects such as garage parking guides. Websites like Pickleball Central and Jennifer’s Pickleball Blog offer craft ideas for repurposing old pickleballs.

As the sport of pickleball continues to grow, players should be mindful of choosing recyclable equipment and disposing of used pickleballs responsibly. By taking steps towards more sustainable disposal practices and extending the life of pickleballs through reuse, players can help grow a more environmentally friendly pickleball community.

So, next time you’re out on the court practicing your dink shot, remember to think about the sustainability of your equipment. Encourage your friends to choose recyclable options and help grow a more sustainable sport.
