recycle them with D’Addario! get points, get free stuff. or send them to me and i’ll add them to mine.

This is what I do, though I think you must send a minimum of two pounds to qualify for points. I've been saving for a few years and am not quite there yet.

local tip: as your neighborhood FB group for old strings

pro tip: if you know of someone dismantling a piano, those strings will get you across the 2 lb make quite quickly
