A new use for old shoes?

Here are some alternatives to letting
your old shoes take up landfill space:



Heart and Sole, a project run by Michigan State University's College of Osteopathic Medicine, will accept small donations of gently used shoes that will be donated to those in need in the U.S. and Africa. Donations must be shipped or delivered to them. To make a donation email Anne Cook at cooka@msu.edu

Gently worn footwear can be sent to one of soles4souls warehouses. To find one near you click here.

Used crocs can be sent to Soles United where they will be recycled, turned into new shoes and sent to those in need. You may either mail them or find a participating retailer drop-off location.

Through Nike's Let Me Play campaign you can donate your used athletic shoes(any brand) to be turned into sport surfaces around the world. Click here to find a drop-off location or mail your used shoes to:
Nike Recycling Center
c/o Reuse-A-Shoe
26755 SW 95th Ave.
Wilsonville, OR 97070
