Trophies/Awards
  1. Call Lamb Awards to let them know approximately how many awards you would like to send in to be recycled and ask for a recycling authorization number.
  2. Send a check or money order for $21 - payable to Lamb Awards - along with the recycling authorization number to:
    Lamb Awards, 129 East Main St., Westminster, MD 21157
  3. When payment is received along with the total number of boxes, Lamb Awards will mail custom shipping labels to you that are to be applied to the boxes being shipped.
  4. Carefully package all of the trophies/awards to be recycled, write the number on all of the boxes, and apply the shipping labels provided.
  5. Ship your boxes to Lamb Awards via UPS or USPS and they will take care of the rest.

The $21 fee is used to fix the trophies and awards in a slight way to make them presentable for the next person. That may be changing a trophy figure from a bowling trophy to a football trophy or just changing the side trim figure that may say 1995 on there to a small part that says 2011. And the most important change is the engraved plates that we supply to make them as nice as possible. It would be terrible for little Timmy who is a soccer player in the state of Texas to get a swimming trophy from a girl named Jane in Kentucky. With the few dollars that are sent in, it all goes into parts, labor, and shipping to make the next person receiving the award happy. It is that easy to have your old awards recycled to acknowledge another persons accomplishment!
