Get Your Old Shoes Back in the Game!

Did you know that you can recycle your used athletic shoes?  There is a VERY cool way to get rid of those old smelly sneakers without throwing them in the garbage.

Through the Reuse-a-Shoe program sponsored by Nike, old athletic shoes are ground up, recycled into sports surfaces, and donated to communities around the world.  Any brand of athletic shoe is accepted, as long as the shoes don't have metal eyelets for the laces.

There are several places you can drop off your old shoes around the Portland area.  (The closest drop-off location is at Tri-Sport Running & Walking, 11919 NE Halsey.)  Or, see the all the locations in the USA!  And tell your friends!
