What we have done in the past in Mexico is simply give the old rope to
someone who could use it, especially someone with burros. I cut it into
20-30 lengths, so it cannot be used for climbing. If I have retired it I
don't want someone else to climb on it. Old climbing rope is perfect for
burro lead ropes or for tying gear on "El Macho."

*Sterling Rope Redemption Program*
What do you do with your old nasty climbing ropes? Sterling Rope would
like to invite you to take part in our new Rope Redemption Initiative.
Rather than having that rope sit in the back of the closet or worse, sit
in a landfill. Return it to Sterling and we will recycle it for you!
That's right, simply send us your old, used Dynamic Climbing ropes and we
will send them off to get melted down and re-made into carpet fiber,
telephones, coat hangers, even children's toys!
It's easy:
Step 1) Put your Rope in a box
Step 2) Put this address on the box
Sterling Rope Company, INC.
C/O Rope Redemption Program
26 Morin St.
Biddeford, ME 04005-4413
Step 3) Ship us the box anyway you want (USPS, UPS, FedEx, Carrier Pigeon,
Transporter) whatever! U.S. Postal is real cheap!
Step 4) Sleep well at night knowing that you've thought outside of the
box, kept more garbage out of the landfill and made some children very
happy. Karma, ain't it grand!
If you have any questions, contact: climb...@sterlingrope.com

Dynamic Ropes only. Oh well, at least it is something.
