Soooo convenient. I tend to put my textile recycling in a separate bag and mark it clearly, I don't want them thinking I dropped off a bag of used undies and holey socks for resale! :-p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recycling-old-sport-shoes-and-socks#post-2095171 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 20:53:31 +0000 Kari 2095171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! Many local running stores offer this, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recycling-old-sport-shoes-and-socks#post-2095168 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 20:39:35 +0000 Joyce B 2095168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great info, thank you for sharing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recycling-old-sport-shoes-and-socks#post-2095155 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 19:21:45 +0000 nuancedream 2095155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Annagybe, thanks for the reminder that REI also recycles sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recycling-old-sport-shoes-and-socks#post-2095152 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 19:16:30 +0000 annagybe 2095152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>REI also recycles sneakers </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recycling-old-sport-shoes-and-socks#post-2095150 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 19:07:44 +0000 kkards 2095150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for posting this, I had no idea. Will do this with my next sneaker purchase instead of throwing out the old ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recycling-old-sport-shoes-and-socks#post-2095146 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 18:53:16 +0000 nuancedream 2095146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, Nike will accept all brands. They can't accept sandals, dress shoes, boots or shoes with metal (like spikes or cleats). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recycling-old-sport-shoes-and-socks#post-2095145 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 18:51:56 +0000 Helena 2095145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's awesome! Our town has started doing municipal textiles recycling. I'm sure it doesn't all get recycled perfectly, but hopefully it's a good move in the right direction! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recycling-old-sport-shoes-and-socks#post-2095144 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 18:49:15 +0000 rachylou 2095144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s cool. Does Nike take all brands? I can’t wear Nike... hehe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recycling-old-sport-shoes-and-socks#post-2095140 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 18:42:33 +0000 nuancedream 2095140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you have old sport shoes that have seen better days, old socks with holes, or orphan socks that have lost their pair, don't toss them into a bin where they will ultimately end up in a landfilll, why not recycle them. I recently read that a pair of sport shoes can take 1000 years to decompose! For socks only, you can mail them to Zkano where they will be recycled into new textiles. <br /> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://zkano.com/pages/zkano-recycles">https://zkano.com/pages/zkano-recycles</a> </p> <p>For those old sport shoes, you can take them to a Nike Reuse-a-Shoe Store. Nike has been taking the materials from old sneakers and recycling them.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/purpose-cms-preprod01/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/14041729/Reuse-a-Shoe_Store_List_8.13.19.pdf">https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws......13.19.pdf</a> </p>
