Tennis Recycles is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to implement tennis ball recycling programs all over the US!
Project Description
Did you know that over 325 million tennis ball are purchased each year? Less than a fraction of one percent of them are recycled. Tennis Recycles was created to change that. We are a nonprofit organization working toward sustainable solutions in tennis. In 2019, our goal is to implement a tennis ball recycling system in New York City + the greater New York area's over 80 tennis courts. In the long-term, our mission is to drive awareness and establish a system across the entire US.
We are raising money to:
- Purchase outdoor all-weather recycling bins to jumpstart a recycling program throughout New York City and the greater New York area.
- Pay for legal fees to become an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
- Keep the organization running.
YOUR support makes all the difference!
The support of the community is what made a pilot program with the NYC Public Parks possible in 2018; this year it will help to expand recycling efforts and prevent more tennis balls from ending up in landfills.
Thank you from the team at Tennis Recycles.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Why do tennis balls need to be recycled?
They are a largely disposable product, most players discard them after several matches, and professionals go through at least 12 balls in a single match. They are essentially the plastic straws of the sports world.
