Making tennis balls even greener!
Did you know that an estimated 10 million tennis balls are purchased in Australia each year? Unfortunately, at the end of their useful lives, all of them end up either in landfills or in our waterways, eventually working their way into the ocean.
To address this environmental concern, we have partnered with Game On Recycling (a new program by Wilson Sporting Goods Co and Australia New Zealand Recycling Platform) to collect and recycle tennis balls. From now on, you can dispose of your unwanted tennis balls in the collection unit at the Hawthorn Tennis Club.
All collected items will be sent to a processing facility in West Melbourne to be sorted into:
Tennis balls that can be reused and put back into circulation, thereby extending the life of the product; or
Tennis balls that have well and truly come to the end of their life and need to be recycled
You can learn more about this exciting and innovative project at Game On Recycling:

Look out for the ball recycling box in the Clubhouse. Discard your old balls in here - let’s avoid tennis balls going to landfill and score a point for Planet Earth!
