Utah's Lacrosse Gear Recycling Program

About Us

We started with a simple question: what happens to all the broken lacrosse gear? The answer turned into a mission.

Our Story

Lacrosse players go through a lot of gear. Shafts crack, heads break, helmets get retired — and most of it ends up in the trash. Meanwhile, there are kids and school programs across Utah that can't afford any equipment at all.

Elijah built RecycleLacrosse to close that gap. Rather than let gear pile up in landfills, he created three programs: collecting broken scraps until there's enough to melt down and remold into new gear, cutting broken shafts into $25 workout handles, and donating usable equipment directly to kids and schools.

It's simple on the surface, but the impact compounds. Every shaft recycled is one less piece of material in a landfill — and one more piece of equipment in a kid's hands.

What We Stand For

The principles behind every decision we make.

♻

Zero Waste

Nothing gets thrown away. Broken gear is melted down, cut up, or repurposed. Every gram finds a use.

🥍

Love for the Sport

We started this because lacrosse gave us so much. Cost should never be the reason a kid can't play.

🤝

Community First

Every donated stick, helmet, or pair of gloves goes directly to a child or school in Utah — no middleman.

Resourceful by Design

A broken shaft isn't garbage — it's a workout handle. A cracked head isn't trash — it's raw material.
