Recycle old tennis balls to reduce the trash that goes into the landfill. Save on shipping cost by using one the ideas below:
1. Give the tennis balls to a "nursing home" so that they can put them on people's walkers (instead of wearing out the rubber bottom plugs that come with the walker).
2. Hang them on a string from the ceiling in the garage so that I know when my car is far enough forward for the garage door to close safely.
3. Use them as a bumper on the cable of a home weight machine. Are there other places that they would be useful as a "bumper"?
4. Use tennis balls as a packing material when you box and ship instead of Styrofoam chips.
"Books for the Barrios" program in Concord, CA uses #4. Furthermore, there is a high school "senior" at Las Lomas High School, who lives in Alamo, who is willing to drive to collect old tennis balls for them. So perhaps you can use this information.
