Recycle Your Old Sneakers: WCI Wednesday update

Last year, we visited where you can recycle your old sneakers, which included local spots like Philadelphia Runner. We also addressed how to recycle your old flip-flops, since we all know how many we can collect for a little post-run relaxation. So what are you to do in 2013? Good news for you runners – there’s more opportunities this year to give your old kicks a new life!

Readers, are you aware of any other sneaker drives? Are you going to host a sneaker drive? Let us know in the comments!
