    Default What do you do with your old bowling balls?

    So did went into my basement and was looking at old bowling balls that I never use anymore. Last week I gave one away to a guy in league who was using a very old ball. My 300 game ball I’ll keep, b7t still have a few that I’ll never use again. I see people selling their old bowling balls online, but it’s really of no interest to me. What do you do,with your old bowling balls?

    I occasionally see some at goodwill. The local Play-it-again used to have some bowling gear in stock but last time I was in there had shuffled the stock and the bowling gear was gone so I suppose they aren't even buying it anymore. The online used ball market seems odd to me - after the hassles of dealing with shipping, the seller seems to not make out that well, and after the costs of shipping and a plug and drill, the buyers don't seem to be saving over buying new, really.
    I wonder if there's some way to "recycle" balls?

    Find a local youth league or high school league and donate them.

    Just something to note is that if you try to donate to youth leagues, Depending on the age/size of the youths. They might not be able to use the heavier weight balls.
