About Us

What is RecycledRunners.com all about?

We are here to help the everyday runner and athlete find an alternative solution for his or hers growing number of old running shoes beyond that of the closet or trashcan.

Runners like many other outdoor sport enthusiasts are concerned about the growing amount of pollution this world is facing. We have resorted to running errands while we actually go out on runs to avoid using our cars. We have resorted to checking air quality reports online before our big training days to ensure we are not damaging our lungs while we try to stay healthy. We pride ourselves that out of so many sports or hobbies, we require the least amount of equipment and some argue produce the least amount of waste.

But Dude! We go through a boat load of shoes!

So what is to become of these $80 to $100+ dollar pair of shoes we are fortunate enough to afford and use in our quest of staying fit and setting new PRs? That is where RecycledRunners comes in. Whether it be the less fortunate or even in the building materials of the running track in your local community, we want you to find a home for those used shoes. Please check out our growing drop off location map and hopefully there is a location near you that will take your old shoes.

Thanks for stopping by and please spread the word.
