If the basketballs are beyond repair, you can recycle them. Check if there are any recycling programs in your area that accept rubber or sports equipment. If not, you can repurpose the basketballs yourself. Cut them open and use the rubber material for various DIY projects, such as making a doormat or a garland.

Removing a basketball hoop, whether it's a portable system or an in-ground installation, can seem like a daunting task. However, with the right tools and a step-by-step approach, you can dismantle your basketball hoop efficiently and safely.

Contact Local Scrap Yards:

Metal components of the basketball hoop, such as the pole and rim, can often be recycled. Contact local scrap yards to inquire if they accept metal items for recycling. Some may even offer pickup services.

Add Value To Your Home

"If you live in a family-friendly neighborhood and get families with small children viewing your home, throwing in that driveway basketball hoop is a nice incentive for a sale."

Use a disc grinder with a thin-kerf cut-off wheel for steel. You can cut flush with the concrete, or chip a bit of concrete around the post so you can angle the cut downwards. Fill and concrete over the base if you want to keep it.

Basketballs are used to play with by several people indoors and outdoors, whether it's a professional league or a kid who plays with it like a recreational game. The average lifespan of a basketball is 4-5 years if used steadily. The grips will eventually wear out and cracks that cause air leaks will occur.

The NBA ball boys and team employees gather the used balls following a basketball game. Basketballs are often used by the NBA during each game, and these balls are generally saved and used in future games or practices.

Recycle Your Basketball

If your ball is beyond repair, recycling is the next best option. Unfortunately, not all municipalities accept basketballs in recycling programs, so make sure to check with your local waste management company.

Can I put a basketball hoop in my driveway? ›

This can work well as concrete provides an adequate playing surface. Even so, there are a few drawbacks to installing your goal at the edge of a driveway. For one, most driveways are slanted at least a few degrees, so the playing surface will not be completely level.

Dig the Hole

As a general rule for most in-ground basketball hoop installations, dig a hole at least 4 feet deep and 16 inches in diameter. For our Dominator line, we recommend digging a 2ft x 2ft square hole 3 feet deep.

Professional installations should generally range anywhere from $400 to $600 from beginning to end. Especially if you are working with an installation company or local contractor, be sure to get a couple different quotes before committing to a purchase.

Since basketball goals are designated to live outside, 365 days out of the year, they must be built to withstand the harshest conditions. What you'll discover is over time, most budget goals are not designed to withstand the elements, and they lack the necessary materials and quality to stand the test of time.
