Shoes

Check out SWALCO's Reuse-A-Shoe athletic shoe recycling and shoe donation program in collaboration with Nike and Share Your Soles.  SWALCO has year-round locations for families or individuals who have a small number of shoes they'd like to recycle.  Groups that would like to be part of the fun and participate in organizing a collection, should contact Merleanne Rampale at SWALCO, mrampale@swalco.org or 847-336-9340 x 4.  In addition to recycling athletic shoes of any brand, SWALCO also coordinated a shoe donation in conjunction with the recycling program (all types of shoes) this year and groups from all around Lake County donated shoes for the cause.  Over 5,000 shoes were donated to Share Your Soles shoe charity in Alsip, Illinois.
