GRC Recycling Initiative Collects 50,000 Pairs of Shoes for Charity

2/5/2010

State recycling coalition partners with Soles4Souls.


The charitable organization Soles4Souls, based in Nashville, Tenn., and the Georgia Recycling Coalition (GRC) have joined together to create one of the largest shoe recycling initiatives in the country. The GRC launched the program in October by placing shoe recycling bins at drop-off locations throughout the state, with Soles4Souls agreeing to collect all shoes donated to be repurposed or recycled through their organization. Since the start, the GRC says it has collected nearly 50,000 pairs of shoes through the program. 

 

More than 200 recycling drop-off locations throughout the state provided shoe bins for residents to take advantage of.

 

More information on the program is available at www.giveshoes.org.
