Recycle Your Old Strings

[bassclef112]

Just a head's up - in case you're unaware D'Addario recycles your old strings/cut ends. I just sent in 14 sets. Join the Players Circle. They will generate a UPS shipping label for 3 lbs of strings. Pack them up and send them in. You will earn points that can be used for swag or you can contribute them to their student music program.

I think this is the coolest thing and it's the only one I know about. It's free!

My wife would ask me why I have these old strings lyin’ about?

Her mom used to collect soap chips in coffee cans.

I have years worth of strings, maybe I should send them into this program. I also press old remnants of soap together.

This posting from another recent thread mentions that Stringjoy also apparently donates recycled strings to a local (Nashville) charity, to turn them into jewelry:

That charity is really cool. I've got strings that I've been saving to mail off to those fine gals. Strings for Hope.

How many players points do you get from D'addario for recycling?
