Plymouth Student Council collecting used athletic shoes

The Plymouth High School Student Council is sponsoring a used tennis shoe drive the week of May 17 to 21.

The shoes will be donated to Nike’s ReUse-A-Shoe program, which since the early 1990s has recycled worn-out athletic shoes into sports and playground surfaces.

To date, more than 21 million pairs of athletic shoes have been rescued from landfills and reborn into hundreds of sports and playground surfaces around the world.

Shoes can be given to any high school student, or brought to the main office at the high school, 125 Highland Ave.

Athletic shoes of any brand will be accepted. Shoes cannot contain metal or cleats, or be wet or damp.
