Recycling

We encourage everyone to recycle all used balls, cans, tubes and tops.

Congratulations to everyone at TTC who have helped divert 25,220 tennis ball equivalents from the landfill since we joined the program in 2021!

DID YOU KNOW ...

  • It takes at least 400 years for a tennis ball to decompose in nature.
  • Rubber is one of the longest duration materials found in landfills.  Landfills are a super emitter of methane, a greenhouse gas that is 84 times more potent as a climate warming gas than CO2.
  • By working with Project Re-Bounce in partnership with Urban Impact, our used sports equipment at TTC is delivered to Metro Vancouver’s Waste-to-Energy Facility in Burnaby where it is converted into energy that helps power over 16,000 homes per year.

Please continue to put your: tennis balls, cans, lids and pull tabs, racquet strings, grips/over grip, and broken unusable racquets in the labelled bins located at the entrance to our club. Thank-you TTC for supporting this valuable initiative to protect the environment.
