Hazleton, Luzerne County - Your old, beat-up flip-flops could get a new life. Old Navy stores across the country have started their first-ever flip-flop recycling drive. People at the Laurel Mall store tossed their old flip-flops. The company partnered with a New Jersey based recycling company to collect the summer sandals. "They will be kept out of the landfills and they're actually going to be made into safety flooring for playgrounds," said Old Navy Merchandising Specialist, Lisa Molendini. Flip-flops can be recycled at the Laurel Mall Old Navy location until May 21st.
