Recycling old equipment

Hi all-
I'm looking for some ideas and suggestions from the group. I'm working on a story about ways to reuse and recycle swimming gear, particularly silicone, latex, and neoprene caps, goggles, wetsuits, bathing suits, and the like. I've found a few resources online, but wondered what you all do with your caps after they rip, for example? I usually just pitch it in the trash, but that seems wasteful and probably bad for the environment. Anyone have a different solution?
I also recall seeing something online a while back about a group that was collecting used sports equipment and shipping it overseas to be used by needy kids. Does anyone have any info on that program or something similar? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
