Turn old, broken cymbals into new Dreams

Just like a good book, cymbals shouldn’t be thrown away after they’re well-loved. Discarding broken or unwanted cymbals just doesn’t feel right - and with Dream’s Recycling Program, you don’t have to. Bring them to an authorized Dream Recycling Dealer, or use our online form, and turn old cymbals into credit towards your next Dream Cymbals.

Only available in Canada and the United States.

How It Works

Bring your broken or unwanted B20 or B8 cymbals from any brand to a participating Dream Recycling Program Dealer or submit a form to us.

$1 CREDIT FOR EVERY INCH OF DIAMETER

Two 20" cymbals = $40

toward a new Dream Cymbal or Gong

With the recycled cymbals, we create new instruments like our Re-FX Crop Circles, Re-FX Bells, and Crotales.

Environmental Impact

At Dream, we believe the footprints we leave behind should make the world a better place, not worse. In that spirit, we take environmental stewardship seriously, and that’s why we created the Dream Recycling Program.


Instead of letting unwanted or broken cymbals go to waste, we give musicians the opportunity to give their past equipment a new life, while also giving them credit towards new Dream Cymbals. This not only supports our network of dealers and brings new customers to join the Dream family, but most importantly, it transforms potential waste into new sounds that we can enjoy.

It’s a win for musicians, a win for the community, and a win for the planet.

Before you pack

  • Pack cymbals securely in boxes weighing no more than 50 lbs each.

After your shipment is on its way, we’ll issue the rebate directly to your store. Thank you for making a difference and taking part in the Dream Cymbals Recycling Program.

Eligibility

Dream only accepts cymbals made from B8, B10, or B20 bronze. If any brass is found in the shipment, Dream reserves the right to reduce the rebate accordingly. Unsure if a cymbal is eligible? Email a photo to kent@dreamcymbals.com.

    Enter total weight in pounds. Max 50 lbs per box.
