I love this positive story about Canada's idea of repurposing sneakers. Wouldn't it be great if there was some sort of business doing this here in Australia?

REBEL sports stores hv been recycling old sneakers for years !
Make sure they (the shoes) are clean, not encrusted w dirt, grass, chewing gum, or dog poo, remove the laces, and put them in their big collection box. Most REBEL stores put the big box in their shoes dept. Old football/ soccer boots can go in as well. Ask at the counter for their recycled sneaker box if you can’t see it. It’s a great way to do the right thing.
