How to Recycle Shoes

Wearable shoes are wanted, so donate those first, and tie or band each pair together so they do not get separated. Worn-out pairs go to textile recycling rather than the bin, since footwear is graded alongside clothing. Athletic brands run grinding programs that turn old sneakers into sport surfaces, though these come and go, so check a specific one is still running before making the trip.
