Trophies & Awards
  • Give your local trophy shop a call and find out if they recycle these items. Some stores will melt down the metal, affix a new nameplate and a different bowler to the top of a trophy, and re-purpose old ribbons (fingernail polish remover takes off old text). They sometimes also donate refurbished medals, etc. to non-profit organizations for fundraising events. They sand off the old inscription and replace it with a new one.
