Mint Discs expands used buyback at Sprinkle to seven days a week

Mint Discs turned a short June 17 post into a meaningful shift for its Austin base: “Starting next week. Used buyback at Sprinkle is 7 days a week.” For local disc golfers, that means a steadier place to unload discs they have cycled out of and a better shot at finding affordable plastic without waiting for a weekend window.

The move matters because disc golf gear turns over fast. Players test new molds, different plastics, fresh runs and specific weights, then move on when a disc no longer fits the shot. A seven-day buyback gives that churn a daily outlet instead of a limited one, which can help keep money in players’ pockets and keep useful discs moving back into circulation rather than disappearing into garages and closets. In a sport where many players build bags through experimentation, a regular resale channel lowers the entry barrier for newer throwers and gives experienced players a practical trade-in path.

The change also strengthens the specific ecosystem at Sprinkle Valley. UDisc lists Mint Discs HQ at Sprinkle Valley at 10300 Springdale Rd, Austin, TX 78754, and notes the store has been open Monday through Sunday since Jan. 1, 2025. PDGA’s course listing describes Sprinkle Valley as the home of Austin Beerworks and Mint Discs, with course hours daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Mint retail hours Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Austin Beerworks says the Sprinkle Valley complex includes a championship-level disc golf course and about 150 parking spots, underscoring how built out the site has become as a destination rather than a simple shop stop.

Mint’s own activity around the property shows how central Sprinkle Valley has become to the brand’s identity. The company held its first Sprinkle Valley Disc Golf Club meeting on Feb. 13, 2026, and Disc Golf Scene listings show multiple HOTT and league events there in June 2026. Mint also maintains a Serial # Database last updated Aug. 13, 2025, a reminder that the company already thinks in terms of traceable runs and organized inventory. A daily used buyback fits that same logic: more structure, more circulation, and more reasons for discs to stay inside the local scene.

For Austin disc golfers, the update is small in wording but big in practice. It turns Sprinkle Valley into an even more active retail loop, where discs can be played, traded in, resold and put back into bags without leaving the community that made them valuable in the first place.
