Local musicians are invited to attend a free recycle and restring event at Dietze Music on Saturday, April 6, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Sponsored by D’Addario and international recycling company TerraCycle, musicians can bring any old instrument strings for recycling and get their electric or acoustic guitars restrung with D’Addario NYXL or Nickel Bronze Acoustic strings. Old strings collected during the event will be recycled through Playback, D’Addario’s free, national recycling program.
The program is a part of D’Addario’s Players Circle loyalty program and allows registered users to recycle their used strings in exchange for extra Players Circle points. Musicians attending the recycle and restring events will receive a code at the event, redeemable for extra Players Circle points. Points can be used toward merchandise or donated to the D’Addario Foundation, the company’s nonprofit organization supporting music education in underserved communities.
“Instrument strings have been a huge waste for us in the past, and it’s great that D’Addario has teamed up with TerraCycle to provide a program for dealers that confronts this issue,” said Dietze store representative Levi Patton. “We are looking to minimize landfill usage by collecting used instrument strings, regardless of brand, for recycling.”
