Boone County Solid Waste Management District is sponsoring the 8th annual Reuse Heart & Sole shoe collection program (February 3-18, 2020). The district is once again teaming up with the Central Indiana non-profit called Changing Footprints. Shoes that are in reusable condition will be redistributed (mainly throughout the Central Indiana area) and the shoes that cannot be reused will be recycled through a campaign sponsored by NIKE. This is a win-win to keep shoes that take over 200 years to decompose out of the landfills! This year, First Call Inc. collected 87 pairs of shoes & the donation combined with Skjodt- Barrett collections so far have totaled over 300 pairs of shoes! Pictured are Jacqueline Hoffman from First Call, Inc. and Kathy Tidd from Skjodt- Barrett.
