Recycle Your Old Shoes
As part of the Nike ReUse A Shoe program, the KRC will be collecting 200 pairs of tennis shoes during the month of April. The shoes will be recycled into materials used for sports surfaces like basketball courts, tennis courts, and running tracks.
Each year millions of pairs of shoes are placed into landfills. This is an epic waste of valuable materials, and our collection event fails to make a significant impact. However, we hope that we can atleast start the process and encourage each of you to consider where your old clothing and shoes go.
If you want to participate, you can drop your shoes off at our tent during EarthFest on April 18th; or call our office at 865.525.9694 to arrange a time to drop your shoes off at our office.
