Sneaker recycling program

The Connecticut Recyclers Coalition (CRC), in partnership with the National Recycling Coalition and Nike, is sponsoring "Nike Reuse A Shoe" collections at Yale and other locations statewide.

In association with CRC, Yale Recycling will create a "Mountain of Sneakers" from those brought in on Saturday, April 23. State residents are welcome to bring their old sneakers, and any they collect at their school, library or other organization, to the Cross Campus lawn, opposite 451 College St. The event will take place 10 a.m.-4 p.m. The shoes will be recycled into new playground and athletic surfaces.

The CRC is a nonprofit organization of just under 100 individuals and organizations concerned with recycling and related issues in Connecticut.
