Friendly service. Lacking in golf club selection. Decent prices. A large variety of other sporting equipment.

Want to get ripped off??? Walked into this establishment to purchase boots and skis for my father in law. We were never greeted or asked if we needed help. ALEX the CSR sat on a couch the entire time. When we went to check out, we were not asked any questions or even acknowledged. We purchased boots and skis then went down the road to have them binded. Come to find out the skis did not fit the boots. We went back 10 minutes later and ALEX told us there was nothing they could do. Refused to get COLLIN the manager on the phone. He admitted fault in not checking the skis and boots. He also mentioned he didn't want to be there and that he doesn't even talk to the manager. He expressed his dislike for his job and I quote "I'm literally doing physical therapy in front of you, I don't want to be here". I unfortunately did not read the reviews before shopping but they are correct. Rude staff, disgusting store, and scammers. read more

Customer service is so lax you could die before someone acknowledges you're in the store. The store always looks like a messy kids room. Organization and neatness are clearly not a priority for the guys working there, The store is always a mess. Not impressed with their costly, new, no brand name equipment. The pre-owned clothing, after 6 years of stopping in, we have never found a nice item to purchase, either dirty, damaged, or over priced. It provide a much needed service for the snow industry, but, they don't do it well. read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND AND THIS IS WHY: STAFF ARE DISRESPECTFUL Last month, my husband and I went into Recycle Sports to buy complete set ups. We had just relocated from Australia and needed everything. We asked the staff member -- a young man with dark hair and fair skin -- a few questions about their products. His tone was impatient and patronising. We felt like a nuisance. After buying two boards, two sets of bindings, two helmets, two pairs of gloves, two pairs of boots, and paying two assembly fees, the staff member begrudgingly assembled our bindings/boards. By then, it was 10 minutes to closing time and he couldn't have made it clearer in his behaviour that he wanted us out of the store. Again, we felt like a nuisance and we had just paid $1550 USD. This staff member's behaviour was not directed solely at us. A family walked in at 4:50pm, and he told them: "We're about to close guys so you probably want to come back tomorrow." The family looked understandably shocked and immediately left. * Today, my husband phoned the store because the leather mitts we purchased (brand new) were soaked through after 2 hours on the mountain. The gloves were $50 per pair (the same price as Kinco or Burton mitts) so we expected them to perform better against snow. The same staff member (we recognised his voice) told my husband: "you get what you pay for." When my husband replied that $50 is not 'cheap' for a pair of gloves, the staff member said it is, and that he would not refund them. We asked the staff member if we could be put in touch with the owners, Steve or Jan. He refused to give us their contact details, or to pass our details along to them. He said that Steve and Jan wouldn't care about our experience and that the couple is too busy with their other businesses. After that, the staff member hung up on us. We called back, thinking the call was disconnected. But the staff member clarified that he did in fact hang up on us. He then hung up on us again. We've never been treated so badly in our lives. STORE UNLAWFULLY DOES NOT GUARANTEE ITS GOODS (NEW OR USED) * The staff member told us that Recycle Sports does not refund or exchange in ANY circumstance, even if the brand new goods are faulty or not performing as expected. This is unlawful under the Consumer Bill of Rights concerning defective products. The bill clearly states that if a product is significantly defective, broken, or doesn't meet the seller's advertising, consumers may have a right to a refund or other remedies like repair or replacement. We purchased the Altitude Boardwerx gloves (Adult "Butter" Pigskin Mittens." On the manufacturer's website (altitudeboardwerx.com), the manufacturer clearly states that the mitts are "waterproof." Therefore, Recycle Sports are violating the Consumer Bill of Rights where it concerns defective products. The staff member told us that their policy is displayed around the store. Unfortunately we did not notice the signs during our purchase -- I'm not sure how since we were in store for an hour and apparently "the signs are everywhere." If we had noticed the signs, we would have immediately left. No reasonable person purchases goods from a retailer who makes a point of deviating from the country's standard return/refund policy. PRODUCTS ARE LOW QUALITY * In addition to our new gloves soaking through, the brand new bindings were purchased are already coming apart after 3 uses. The brand new goods sold at Recycle Sports are low quality. I assume that is why the owners/manager have made a point of deviating from the country's standard return/refund policy. NO RECOURSE FOR POOR EXPERIENCE * As mentioned, when we asked to be put in touch with owners, Steve and Jan, the staff member refused. He also refused to give us his first name. That was right before he hung up on us twice. This is a second violation of the Consumer Bill of Rights. According to the bill, consumers have the right to express their concerns and complaints to a businesses and to have their issues addressed. Not only did the staff member (1) not hear our concerns/complaints (I had to ask him 5 times to stopping interrupting me -- he never stopped), (2) he also never addressed my issue. He said the gloves were cheap and cheap gloves soaked through. Then he hung up on me. FAR BETTER OPTIONS IN THE COUNTY * Summit County is filled with new and used sporting stores staffed by friendly, knowledgable, respectful, and professional staff. In fact, Summit County is filled with kind-hearted, ready to help people. Recycled Sports and the staff that work there are an anomaly for the county and do not represent the people that live and work in this beautiful part of Colorado. The many other poor reviews confirm that their behaviour is unusual for the area. read more

Called ahead prior to heading to Frisco Adventure Park regarding disc golf discs and they had two somebody brought in. The employees made a fair deal and we were on our way. A serious amount of ski equipment, bicycles (new/used) and so much more. read more

Terrible experience from the consignor side. I had a pair of K2 skis that were sold in 2019. It was only $60, but I realized they never paid me and I called to see what happened. They couldn't find an account for me, so I let it go. Some time later, I came across the paperwork with the account number on it and called to get a check issued. They said if you don't call for a balance within two years, you're "out of luck." I can understand if they keep the consignment merchandise, but the money??? I can't even believe this is legal! I was never informed when I dropped off the skis about this policy and the consignment document doesn't address this clearly either. And when I originally called, it was within two years, but they couldn't find my account! I've called a few times on this, and yes, this is the policy. They basically KEEP your money if you don't call for your check. And even trying to call for your check is a difficult process. It seems they're always short staffed. I called the owner today and he was rude, saying the policy is "outlined on the website." Really??? Do you think people go to the website to look for ways this business is going to keep YOUR consignment proceeds? This place is a racket. If you're a consignor, AVOID at all costs. Put your stuff on Craig's List or give to charity where more deserving people will benefit. An update: I changed my review from a one star to a two star. After I posted my review, I got an apologetic call from the store manager and I received a check. Apparently, there's been a transition due to new ownership. I was tempted to delete my review altogether, but this has been an unpleasant experience to say the least, and I do think their policy regarding payment to consignors is extremely harsh. If you're a consignor, just know the store payout policy before you decide to have a relationship with this merchant. read more

New owners are not nice. They are dismissive, rude and ill-tempered. My wife & I had a couple of simple questions and the owner bit our heads off. The more customers they have, the madder they get. This is Unfortunate because the previous owners (from 3 years ago) were the salt of the earth and would do anything to assist. If you want a pissy attitude, give em a try. read more

Take your used ski equipment in and they will sell it and pay you no muss no fuss. Much easier than a ski swap.

This place is sick! I've gotten a sweet 80s onesie and some Nordic's enforcers for such a good deal and now Im feeling on top of the world! Also all the employees there are super nice and helpful :) read more

I bought new poles for $25, the baskets on both poles broke on day two. I was told, 'baskets break you can buy new ones for $15'. So if you buy anything, even new equipment, expect no returns, no customer service and know you are getting the lowest quality. . I expected they'd give me a replacement pair or a store credit. Nope, nothing. read more

Recycle Sports - New poles, broken first run day 2. - Bikes Near Me - Frisco, Colorado

Recycle Sports sounded like a great option to purchase more affordable sports equipment from the radio commercials. Upon arriving, the store is filthy - accumulations of gunk in the corners, just gross. No worries, I understand it's a resale, times are tough and I love supporting local non-chain stores. Purchase a few new, still-in-package items. Get to car and noticed the tag's suggested price is HALF of what I paid. Research the other new in package item online - HALF of what I paid them. Everything I bought was double what I could get for the same brand and model online. I called to return it, thinking no harm no foul since they are still unopened. Nope. All sales final. Not cheaper - way more expensive, no returns, dirty. Not returning. read more

Brad is awesome. Best customer service ever! Please pay him.more. Just bought a snowboard. He is the best. Come in and buy.

I came into the store to pickup a pair of boots that I had consigned and they were not there. An employee nonchalantly informed me that the boots had been "swiped" and also that "this happens all the time" including with "his stuff." He went on to inform me that Recycle Sports is not responsible and that it's just "tough luck." They have hundreds of boots for sale many of which are far nicer than mine and I find it hard to believe that my boots would have been targeted for a theft. read more

The only place in town I know that you can spend $700 and they still want to charge you $15 to adjust the boots you just bought to your skis. Really guys?? wake up. We're trying to buy local, I am sure you can spare the 5 minutes it takes to make the adjustment. read more

good store and even better customer service. good prices and would recommend going here

i was going to write a nasty review about their business ethics and how they treat...or mistreat their customers, over $3?!?! then i come here to see he does this with a lot of people.....now i just feel sad for him if someone wants to act like that, over 3$ well....imagine what his daily life is like i just have compassion now. poor fellow, get better soon read more

Very dissapointed with the people that "fixed" my binding. Instead of fixing it they broke it and charge me 10 dollars for it!!! I had to rent skies for that day since they broke mine. I will NOT return here read more

We went here after renting a snowboard and skis for the week at Keystone and fell over with the price (luckily we were able to get our money back from Keystone after buying gear). Laird helped me find some great skis for a ridiculous low price ($88 with bindings). When I googled the skis, they were worth about $700! Laird was very knowledgeable and didn't steer me toward the expensive skis. I really appreciated his honesty. We also bought a snowboard, and name brand snowboarding pants for the kids (Marmot and Obermeyer). We ended up leaving there with so much gear for a fraction of the cost of renting just skis and a snowboard. The owner was also very helpful and friendly. I'm so glad this store was suggested to me! read more

We rented bikes and this company was so helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient. They were very friendly and took their time with us. I will definitely rent from them again when I'm back in Frisco. read more

Great selection of gear, and the guy working in the downstairs very helpful. However, (Brad), not sure if he is a new owner or manager, but he is very rude and has very poor customer service skills. I had just purchase some nice ski boots for all terrain and the guy in the shop said bring them in to get adjusted. I spoke to Brad and he said he wouldn't adjust them didn't know how. Then I spoke to the guy downstairs and he said oh Brad knows how to do that. I asked Brad and he said bluntly " I told you we're not doing that, I guess back to square zero", and I said " I thought you said you didn't know how?" He said, " I do know how, just don't want to, go to Precision they can do it" Very rude person. Will not go back for ski service due to him, he needs to learn about customer service. I sure miss the owner that was there previously, he was a great guy! If you don't have to deal with Brad, then I would recommend going there. I'm trying to help locals, bad experience. read more

Beware if you bring anything here to sell as consignment...you'll never get your check. We spent 6 months calling and coming into the store with the same lame ass excuses: "The check machine is broken" or "our accountant is only in on Wednesdays" "Yeah, we'll print that out tomorrow and mail it to you." Finally confronted the owner and he admitted that they were having cash flow issues so they couldn't cut us a check. I know it's tough being a small business owner, but how about some integrity. Suck it up and tell us what the hell is going on. In the end they let us take another pair of skis that were equal to what they owed us. That's not really the point though. Now someone else will be screwed over as well. I gave them a 2nd star because I love the giant golden retriever that hangs out there. Friendly pooches go far with me. read more

I have been going here for years with my family and have always had possitive experience. Its ideal for families with growing kids. Winter sports gear is very expensive and buying used is ideal for the years they are growing out of stufff every season. Before you shop here, have an idea of what you want. Have some options. Do research in some retail shops, then head here. Remember, this is a consignment store with a huge selection of used stuff ranging from old and beater, to near new (even some new stuff). You will be looking at ski gear ranging in age and condition over many seasons. Be prepared to spend time looking and trying on stuff. Be prepared to help yourself. There's a lot of merchandise to look through, but a savvy buyer finds the deals. We came into town with a large group friends with small kids. We stopped here BEFORE renting stuff. We ended up out fitting the kids with cool used gear for less than the cost of a 1 week rental! But do keep in mind, returns are not an option. I stop here everytime we pass through. We've scored deals on used mountain bikes, ski poles, kids gear, snowboard boots, and a cool pair of fat boys. We've put some of our own gear on consignment here too. You only get 50% of whatever they sell it for. For us, that's fine. I have no interest in trying to sell my used stufff on ebay or Craigs list or having a yard sale. If you need to net more $$ on your used gear - sell it yourself. Steve (owner?) and his staff have never been anything less than polite and helpful over the years. Stop by and give this place a look. read more

Had a great experience . An old but comfortably pair of Technica ski boots I use when not skiing hard list their heels. Unbelievable, but these guys had heels, put them on ( for $10 ) , and did it with a smile! Picked up composite Smith poles ($15 ). A definite place to go if you buy your stuff like I buy my cars... Used! Going back for grand kids first ski outfits . Told the old guy owner the negative reviews were wrong and I would do this post. read more

I stopped in to this store last night and my experience couldn't have been better! Neil (I think) helped us for over an hour to find a new (to me) pair of skis. He literally went through everything we needed to know about what kind of skis I should get. He asked a ton of questions about my abilities and we found a great pair. This is way better service than i have ever had at Colorado Ski and Golf. The owners were a little gruff, but it was super busy and they were in the middle of moving to a different location. I would send anyone to this store looking for a deal on some ski equipment. If you have a problem with how they sell your stuff... put your own ad on craigslist and deal with all the weirdos that will call/email you. read more

This place saved my weekend! My girlfriend and I packed hurriedly last Friday because we were in a rush to get up I-70 before a winter storm rolled through the area. When we arrived in Frisco that evening, we realized we had forgotten some of our rather necessary ski gear. After a quick google search, we discovered Recycle Ski & Sport and decided to stop in the next morning. We found some great deals on a ski jacket for her and a pair of ski pants for me. We also ended up buying some extra ski goggles because the prices were too good to pass up! The staff even helped me switch out the lenses on my new goggles while we paid. Ultimately, we got a full weekend of skiing in and had a great time because Recycle Ski & Sport saved the day! read more

My 2 friends and I rented fat tire E bikes for the Moring and road up to the top of the pass. We did peddle but we were doing about 15mph on the way up and 20mph on the way down with little effort and the riders that were not in shape can keep up with the faster riders. I look forwarded to owning a set of them for my wife and I. The price to by one were the best i have seen on an # bike. read more

Great place to buy; not so great for selling. If you half-way know what you're looking for there are some good bargains. They have some "new" stuff which is definitely NOT a bargain. We outfitted the entire family for ski season for a song. I don't require last years' skis; 5 years old is just fine with me. I go back often and usually find a couple of good deals. Selling: they take 50% of the selling price and you have to keep calling or coming back to see if it's sold. I suspect many people never get their money. There is also some fine-print about what happens to the stuff left there for more than a certain period of time. Many people come in, buy a set of skis, boots, poles, and then sell them back at the end of the vacation. read more

What I need. Recycle Ski & Sport. Thank you! read more

Twice this team has come to my rescue! Their goal is to affordably get the outdoor enthusiast back into the sport and enjoying the day! Thanks Laird & lets keep focused on the gift of today read more

Took two bikes in to get tuned up. Very reasonably priced and super fast. Brad rocks! He's definitely a bike expert. Thanks for all the help and attention! I'll continue to come back. read more

Great spot for good quality ski and snowboarding gear! Highly recommend Craig for any snowboard needs you may have he's got all the knowledge you need! read more

First of all, the Google map directions for misleading. The store is on the other side of the road. The store owner had no idea how to give directions or what road the store was actually on. It took me 20 minutes driving around in circles to finally find it, there are no signs out in front except for the one behind the bushes. I called ahead of time to make sure they had what I needed and when I finally got there five minutes to closing they said they did not have it. I've heard great things about this place however that was not my experience read more

As a self professed "gear queer" with 19 pairs of ski's & 9 bikes in my garage , this place is hands down the best place to go for a value shopper. you must stop by here weekly and continue the tradition of transporting dozens of objects that rotate around your cosmic debri and clog up your garage! read more

I have bought and sold gear here and its great. I don't have the time nor interested in selling my stuff myself, so this is easy and pain free. 50/50 split is great for me because its out of my hands and well, great for the store as they are the ones who needs to keep the doors open so we can sell our stuff. As far as purchasing I find great buys every time from climbing packs, sleeping bags, skis, boots, just about everything. Know what you want but take sometime to look around for the treasures. Great service in finding boots that fit my tough feet. Summer time bike rentals are the best prices in town so that was fun for my family. read more

See all

Outstanding selection of skis and boots. We go every year for upgrades. Super solid on quality. Pricing is fantastic. Tuning and mounting as well. Fast and affordable. read more

Great opportunity to get used gear for a good price. Customer service boarders on rude. One gentleman was very helpful upstairs, but guy downstairs with the beard and long hair had a major chip. Some people have no business working with the public read more

This is a pretty great place to get a deal on used gear. There is also a guy who tends to snap up last year's new gear and resell it here, so you can pick up a nice pair of skis and bindings that were new last year (and are still new) for $400-600. And if you just need a pair of skis for a quick weekend or to loan out to your friends they can be had for as little as $50. Highly recommended, and good, friendly service to boot. read more

We received great service here. I needed skis for two kids, boots for one, a helmet for another, and goggles. The sales person helped find the sizes we needed in the price range I was after. He made sure we got the right fit for the kids. Very attentive service. Plus we were able to get out pretty cheap for some pretty decent gear. I left very happy, except after picking out the skis and boots he adjusted the bindings for me and charged me $10 to do so without asking. I've been adjusting bindings myself and prefer to do it myself. Oh well I wrote it off as a tip for the good service. read more

Absolutely love this place. With 2 young kids ski & board equipment and clothing gets quite expensive if you go to the mountain regularly. We have found snow boards, super nice Burton bindings which should last my daughter for years and the best find ever, $17 nearly-new ice hockey goalie pads for my son. (regularly $350). We visit the store several times per year and will continue. We've also donated outgrown winter clothes and have received credit which we usually spend with no problems. Guaranteed to find something valuable at a significant bargain. Renting equipment at the resort would turn out to be more expensive than getting your winter vacation items here. read more

Father in Law needed a bike for Vail Pass. $10 for 2 hours, which is half the price at larger chain stores and stores near the Resorts. Their prices on new/used gear seemed competitive; would use them again. read more
