Reuse before replacing
Outgrown doesn’t mean worn out. Passing along usable rackets, balls, bikes, and other gear extends their life and keeps them in use instead of throwing them away.
Repair & recirculate
Some outdoor brands offer reuse options. Patagonia’s Worn Wear program accepts eligible Patagonia clothing and packs for trade-in; the brand also offers repair services. Conditions and possible repair costs apply.
