Thinking of buying a new pair of shoes? You can drop off your old shoes to be recycled instead sending them to landfill.
Many shoe stores have a collection box for your old unwanted shoes.
Organisations like Tread Lightly recycle unwanted sports and active lifestyle shoes into new products.
If your old shoes are in reusable condition, they can be given to charities for other people to use. Or, if you feel creative, repurpose the shoe into planters.
Whether you donate, recycle or repurpose, your old textiles and shoes still have plenty of value left in them.
