This Waste Management logo is made of 144,000 recycled golf balls by local Ariz. company Dixon Golf.


After the Open, all the golf balls were donated to local community sports programs for reuse throughout the next year.


The golf balls are just one component of the Zero Waste Challenge, an initiative aimed at educating vendors and patrons about proper disposal of waste, so that eventually zero waste is sent to the landfill.
