Nike Reuse a Shoe

Nike Reuse-A-Shoe
Keep Smyrna Beautiful and Niketown Atlanta are working together to collect shoes for Niketown Atlanta’s latest Reuse-A-Shoe project to rebuild New Orleans playgrounds. They are trying to collect as many shoes as possible to help with this project.
Every year, millions of pairs of athletic shoes are thrown away, clogging landfills and wasting a lot of good material. So Nike has created a solution to allow you to recycle your old shoes! Reuse-A-Shoe, part of their Let Me Play campaign, is one of Nike’s longest-running environmental and community programs, where worn-out athletic shoes of any brand are collected, processed and recycled into material used in sports surfaces like basketball courts, tennis courts, athletic fields, running tracks and playgrounds for young people around the world.
You may take your old athletic shoes to the Smyrna Recycling Center at 645 Smyrna Hill Drive during working hours from now until February 17th. They will also be collecting shoes at the “Bring One for the Chipper” at the Vinings Home Depot on January 26th. If you have any questions, call 770-431-2863.
