Did you know that an estimated 1.5 million lbs. of instrument string metal is landfilled each year since musical instrument strings are not accepted through local recycling programs? In response and in celebration of Earth Month, Heid Music in Appleton is hosting an event for musicians to recycle and replace their old instrument strings with D’Addario NYdXL or Nickel Bronze Acoustic strings for no charge. Strings collected during the event will be recycled through Playback, the world’s first instrument string recycling program. To date, D’Addario and TerraCycle have recycled nearly 13 million instrument strings.
Sponsored by instrument string and accessories giant D'Addario & TerraCycle, the international recycler of hard-to-recycle waste, the event will take place on Friday, April 19th from 10 AM – 5 PM and also on Saturday, April 20th from 10 AM - 4 PM.
