I came across a great way to recycle old running sneakers (I have a ton). Nike collects old sneakers and grinds them up to be used to make different parts of sport surfaces in communities around the world.

To keep the recycling equipment running smoothly, they have a few guidelines for recycling:
• Athletic shoes only (any brand)
• No shoes containing metal
• No cleats or dress shoes
• No wet or damp shoes
I am getting ready to send a box, I will take any from friends who want to do the same. Or you can send on your own:
Nike Recycling Center
c/o Reuse-A-Shoe
26755 SW 95th Ave.
Wilsonville, OR 97070
There are drop off locations as well, see website for more information.
Cheers!
