How can I recycle my tennis balls?
You may have noticed a big green box at Aston recently? ATA's junior board member Jia Hind has begun a pilot program to RECYCLE BALLS! Drop off your used tennis balls next time you play. We are looking for a sponsor for this program for 2023, contact us if interested!
HOARDER ALERT! If you have LOTS of balls stockpiled already, you can ship your own box to get started with a tax-deductible donation: https://www.recycleballs.org/quicklabel-program-and-form/

Our first year selling memberships was 2019, and this was paused in 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions. We do not plan to revive this at this time and will focus on other fundraising efforts.
