Newspapers, soda cans, water bottles…and athletic shoes?

Recycling sneakers might sound a little out there, but it wasn't so long ago that throwing yesterday's news into today's trash wasn't just normal, but the only thing to do with it.

Times have changed – for the better. Today, recycling household waste like plastic, glass, paper and cardboard has become second nature for people around the world.

Our goal is to make recycling athletic shoes second nature as well. With Reuse-A-Shoe bins available at around 300 locations in the U.S. alone, as well as locations in Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand, it's becoming easier to find a shoe recycling facility near you.

Not only is tennis shoe recycling easy to do, but it's also one more way you can become a more conscious consumer – and help Nike toward its goal of being a more sustainable company. Read more about Nike's commitment to sustainability.
