Hello guys,

I would like to know if table tennis rubbers are something we can recycle safely by deposing in recycling bins, or do they belong to landfill.

Even though I am just a regular citizen, I feel bad every time I have to put a rubber in the bin. If there is a way to recycle them responsibly, I would very much like to know.

Many thanks in advance

I go through quite a few rubbers every year. That is mostly because of my two kids who ruin them by throwing them in the yard and hitting wall corners. What I do I separate the rubber from wood, and in November I dispose of it into a large bin I rent from https://www.186needabin.com/disposal-bins/. I need to have that container every year to get rid of leaves from my property. The guys sort out the trash after I’m done collecting organics, so I’m not worrying about rubbers.

Recycling, it's always better than just throwing it away, because if the trash just lays in a landfill, then chances are the landfill will poison the soil of the places where it lies. Personally, I use zero waste group services, which is a garbage removal and recycling company in my city. It will be more environmentally friendly and correct, since they can make something more useful out of your rubber band.

Yes, man, as far as I know, there are now special factories that recycle old tires and rubber products of any kind. But at the same time, everyone needs to consider that after this, rubber is again produced, which must be properly disposed of. Many alternatives are used in everyday life, such as alternative bags, which are most often used for garbage disposal, etc., so if you have always wanted to take care of nature, then now is your chance. To do this, for example, you can use https://www.interplas.com/trash-bags/contractor-bags , the most important thing with this use is the correct disposal of the goods. There are many articles on the Internet on this topic, and you can study them.
