Recycle your old sneakers!
Do you have sneakers or athletic shoes that you no longer want? Recycle them by dropping them off at UCSB's Recreation Center or ICA!
- Permanent collection locations are located in the lobby of the UCSB Recreation Center and the Intercollegiate Athletes Gym (ICA)
- Shoe-Drives occur the last two weeks of every quarter (Week 10 and Finals Week). During this time, additional bins are placed in the lobby of all on-campus housing.
- All shoes except for heels, wedges, water socks, and crocs/flip flops are accepted
- All pairs of shoes recycled should be tied to together at the laces
- There is NO need to drop the shoes off in plastic bags or boxes of any kind
- If anyone has questions or wants to recycle a large amount of shoes, please contact matthewschoen@ucsb.edu
