Kam odložiti stare, nezaželene športne copate?

Even if the pair is completely worn out, you can not throw it in the trash – it is not ecological.

Spring is the time of renewal, including the appearance. In a flurry of momentary desire to buy a mountain of new things few people will remember about those copies that are not the first day dusty in the closet. Wear them no longer want to, and throw away a pity. In addition, many sneakers are not made of biodegradable materials and throwing them in the landfill is wrong. Where can you dispose of old or boring pairs and how to properly dispose of sports shoes?

They don’t fit me, they fit someone else

The world is not without kind people. If you dislike sneakers or other things, but you have worn them only a couple of times, they do not have stains and holes, why not give them to charity? Some people are in a difficult situation right now, and your sneakers could make a future champion happy.

Here are a few organizations that will gladly take your load of boring stuff from you: The Collector, Second Breath, and Good Stuff.

Recycling is an eco-friendly option

If the sneakers are already completely worn out and not fit anywhere, they have only one way – to recycle. Until recently, in Russia it was impossible to hand over to such services exactly shoes due to the fact that there are too many different materials in them. However, now this option is available, although not everywhere.

Where do they accept sneakers for recycling?

Vagabond’s “Don’t let your old shoes decompose in the dumpster” program

The company itself will solve your problems with old, unwanted shoes: pairs in relatively good condition will be sent to second hand shops, while others will be recycled. We accept sneakers of any company and from any material, except for work shoes with metal toe, specialized sports shoes (e.g. skates or ski boots) and heavily soiled and oily copies. A pleasant bonus, in addition to a plus in karma, will be a discount coupon. There are already 53 points of this company in Russia – addresses can be found at the link.

Rendez-Vous program “Give your shoes a new life”

You can bring your shoes to any offline store of this company, as well as give them to the courier upon delivery (but in this case not more than two pairs). The uniqueness of this action is that they accept for recycling and non-pair shoes. Have you found only one sneaker, and the second one has disappeared into oblivion? Feel free to bring the survivor to Rendez-Vous. You can find out more details here.

Don’t stockpile unwanted shoes in your home, as they may come in handy for someone else. And if you’ve completely worn out a pair, make sure your sneakers are recycled so they don’t harm the environment.
