- 1. Got a pair of flip-flops that are so 2009? There just might be a program for you.
On Friday a program called Flip Flop Relay begins in Woodbury, where participants can turn in their old footwear. In turn, the company TerraCycle recycles the flip-flops into playground equipment, which event organizers say will be donated to communities nationwide.
Would-be participants can take part in the Flip Flop Relay locally at Woodbury’s Old Navy store. According to a press release, this event marks the first time a nationwide retailer has initiated a large-scale effort to collect and recycle flip-flops.
The event runs through May 21.
