Tennis balls are becoming a concern in landfills because they are non-biodegradable. According to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/recyclenation.com\/2012\/07\/green-game-rebounces\/\" target=\"_blank\">Recycle Nation<\/a>, \u201cmore than 300 million tennis balls are produced each year, and that can translate to 18,750 tons of non-biodegradable landfill waste.\u201d There is a company called <em>reBounces<\/em> that exclusively repurposes old tennis balls by re-pressurizing them so that they will bounce once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Chewed Bubble Gum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, this is not a typo. That\u2019s right; chewed down bubblegum can be recycled and repurposed into a variety of products. Yes, this is truly mind blowing. What can recycled chewing gum possibly be used for? Well, it just gets more fascinating from here! Common commodities that can contain recycled chewing gum material include floor mats, watch straps, toothbrush grips, car bumpers, caster wheels, window gaskets, pencils, and even rubber boots!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Styrofoam Packing Peanuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people are under the impression that Styrofoam is not a recyclable product. In most cases, this is close to the truth in that Styrofoam is a very difficult product to degrade in landfills. However, Styrofoam packing peanuts are perfectly compatible for repurposing. Simply save them up and take them to your local mail or packing store. They are happy to reuse them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out this message posted by Pak Mail, \u201cAll Pak Mail locations are part of the Peanut Hotline, a recycle and reuse program started by the Plastic Loose Fill Council. Pak Mail provides consumers with a place to take packing peanuts for reuse. Our more than 500 locations across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Japan now offer consumers a way to dispose of plastic loose fill that is environmentally friendly\u2013saving energy, reducing waste, and conserving natural resources.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Boats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Summer is around the corner, and many people are discovering that their boats and watercrafts don\u2019t have one more season left in them. If this happens to you, don\u2019t panic. You don\u2019t have to hire a towing company and pay astronomical fees to have your junked boat or personal watercraft transported to a junkyard. Boats and all other metal or motorized watercrafts can be recycle! Even better, most scrap metal recycling companies in Indianapolis will tow them away for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Are you looking to recycle an old boat or junk car in Indy?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoresindy.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact Zore\u2019s Indy<\/a> at 317-247-8484 to get paid cash on the spot for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoresindy.com\/metal-recycling.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scrap metal recycling in Indianapolis, Indiana<\/a>.
