Do you have old tennis shoes just sitting in your closet? Don’t throw them away…RECYCLE them! Shoes can sit in landfills for 30-40 years before decomposing. Luckily, J Shoes is part of the GotSneakers program! The GotSneakers program takes your old sneakers for FREE and recycles them for you! How easy! Producing shoes releases large amount of pollution into the air that contributes to global warming . Recycling your sneakers and keeping them out of the landfills reduces the production of new shoes which cuts down these emissions. So far, GotSneakers has stopped 75 million pounds of C02 from entering the atmosphere! We are proud to be apart of this wonderful program! What do they do with the shoes? GotSneakers will clean your old shoes and ship them to developing countries to take on a new life! They will also grind up the material and reuse them to resurface playgrounds! Then, GotSneakers will send us a compensation. We will turn around and donate these proceeds to The Little Red Barn Dog Rescue! What a great way to give back! Something as simple as dropping your old shoes off at J Shoes could make a huge difference to the environment, people in need, and furry friends! Sounds like a win win! We hope you love this program as much as we do! Thanks for reading!
