Recycle instrument strings through this program.
Recycling in partnership with D'Addario
TerraCycle® and D’Addario have partnered to create a free recycling program for instrument strings and clippings. D’Addario will make a charitable donation on your behalf for each qualifying shipment, or you may earn loyalty points through D’Addario’s Playback program.

How it works
Participating is completely free and very easy.
What you can recycle in this program
Program accepted waste: Instrument strings and clippings from any string instrument and any brand
What happens to the waste
Once collected, the metal and nylon strings are separated by type and the metal is melted down and smelted into new metal alloys. The nylon is recycled into industrial plastic applications. Click here to learn more about the recycling process.
Rewards
As thanks for your dedication to Eliminating the Idea of Waste, you may choose one of two ways to be rewarded: D’Addario will make a donation to the D’Addario Foundation on your behalf, or you may earn loyalty points through the D’Addario Playback program.
