Order a bin or prepaid shipping label to ship collected tennis balls to the facility in Vermont. Some of the Tennis balls are ground up and the felt is separated from the rubber. We call the rubber crumb generated; GREEN GOLD. Other balls are sold and reused as dog balls. GREEN GOLD is used in the construction of tennis courts, horse footing and hopefully soon, with more R&D, a variety of green products. (Recycling partner needed for the felt.) Sells good condition ball for dogs by the box of 100 and has ways you can donate bulk deliveries to dog shelters.
