Eva Kornreich has a weekly tennis game, at Sylvan Tennis Club.
Fellow player Dawn Sullivan was concerned about the many used tennis balls that end up in landfills.
So she did something.
She asked Sylvan to participate in a recycling program for tennis balls. They agreed.
Bins are used often, as players leave the court.

Eva added some more recently, after cleaning out a closet.
It’s a little thing. But small actions by many lead to big results. Congratulations, Dawn, Sylvan Tennis, and all who participate. Well “served”!

Kudos! Just wanted to add the “RecycleBalls” bins have pre-paid labels to the plant in Vermont where tennis balls are transformed into recycled rubber surfaces for playgrounds, tennis courts, sidewalks and more. https://www.recycleballs.org/solution/
How are the tennis balls recycled??
