Athletic shoe recycling
Hate to throw away an old pair of running shoes? Do something good for the earth and recycle your used athletic shoes. The shoes are being ground up to make athletic surfaces including tracks, tennis courts and playground surfaces. Athletic shoes only; no metal, no dress shoes, no hiking boots. For more information call RecycleWorks at 1-888-442-2666 or visit www.recycleworks.org/shoes/. Here are eight other Bay Area locations that will also accept shoes according to Nike’s web page. Call and confirm the locations before delivering shoes.
