San Diego Now Recycles ... Surfboards

San Diego beaches are known for their abundance of surfing opportunities, and the city is now providing the opportunity for free surfboard recycling to keep obsolete boards out of landfills.
Boards are now accepted at the Miramar Recycling Center and the Solana Beach Lifeguard Station. Those in usable condition will be donated to Los Angeles nonprofit organizations, while broken boards will be ground up and used in mixing concrete.
Over 750,000 surfboards are produced each year. Because modern surfboards are made of polystyrene (which you may know as #6 plastic), finding recycling options can be a challenge.
