Have sneakers that you or the kids no longer use or need? Here's an easy way to recycle them while supporting the Northborough Scholarship Fund!! Gather your running, basketball, gym and training, cleats (rubber only), hiking and casual sneakers. Drop them off at one of the locations listed on the flyer before Nov. 5. SNEAKERS ONLY PLEASE.

Reach into your closets, not your pockets.

GotSneakers, a social enterprise, will issue funds based on the quantity of gently worn, used and new sneakers collected. 

The sneaker recycling program helps keep sneakers out of landfills, which has harmful effects on our environment. The EPA estimates that 200-300 million pairs of shoes are thrown into landfills each year. 

Donation locations are:

• PR Running, 18 Lyman Street, Westborough (near Tatnuck Bookstore)

• HOTWORX, 318 Main Street, Northborough (Neighborhood Tavern plaza)

• 180 Rice Avenue, Northborough

• 147 Davis Street, Northborough

• 43 Ridge Road, Northborough (bin by front door)
