Leading up to the April 18 Earth Day celebration, members of the campus community may donate used athletic shoes, clothing, e-waste, and office supplies for one of the
following Earth Day projects:

• Reuse-A-Shoe: The Nike Reuse-A-Shoe program grinds up old athletic shoes and turns them into material used to build running tracks, basketball courts, and tennis courts. Used athletic shoes (with rubber bottoms) can be dropped off at the Office of Solid Waste Management and Recycling (947 Atlantic Dr., 404-385-0088), Barnes & Noble @ Georgia Tech Bookstore, and Burdell’s. For a list of other drop-off locations, visit earthday.gatech.edu.
