    Tennis cans - Keeping my fingers crossed

    I just when into a local Tennis club and asked about their empty tennis ball cans. The person behind the desk said that to the club the empty cans are just garbage and it shouldn't be a problem if I wanted them I can have them. Took my name and phone number and now I'm just keeping my fingers crossed.

    Wish me luck!

    Good idea. Would save you the hassle of having a ton tennis balls laying around.

    Most definitely. That is one of my issues. I STILL have a bunch of tennis balls from all of the cans that I have bought in the past. One can only donate so many to the near by animal shelters.

    Sad that they go in the garbage. They should be recycled, which is what you're doing, sort of. Good on ya.

    My Dad uses them in his pool in the filter (about 3 at a time). He says they really help. Just sayin'.

    First my soul now my balls? Where will it end? LOL! Evilbay is taking every thing from me.

    No doubt that they would probably sell there. I closed my account years ago. Thanks for the good idea though.

    Scott, That is great to know. Thanks for the tip as well. I have more than enough though. I will send you a bunch if you want. I am glad to hear that your Dad can use them.

    I know around here tennis balls that aren't any good anymore are used by physical therapists and people that work with the elderly as grip strengtheners.

    Well the tennis club came through! I got my first batch of empty cans yesterday, almost 30 in one week

    As I get more if anyone here is interested I'd be happy to make a great deal on them - say 7.50 pre 24 and exact shipping / 6.25 up to 12.00 depending where you live. Let me know and when I have what I want I'll won't tell the club to stop holding them for me.
    NOTE: Cans have different color lids and some cans I got don't have any lid.
