A South Burlington Nonprofit Aims to Recycle Every Tennis Ball in America


The Vermont nonprofit, RecycleBalls, has partnered with over 950 tennis facilities to collect and recycle used tennis balls. The organization has collected more than 1.7 million thus far, and using a processor is able to shred and separate the fuzz from the rubber – the latter of which gets reincorporated into tennis courts. While the organization is looking to scale and financially sustain its own efforts, making sure the process remains no-cost for partnering facilities is important to RecycleBalls, citing it as a leading incentive for participation.
