Retail clothing store to put old footwear to use

One environmentally friendly company is partnering with Old Navy stores nationwide to give communities a chance to turn their trash into treasure and help the environment at the same time. Beginning on Earth Day and continuing through May 21, the green company TerraCycle is collecting ready to be discarded flip-flops at more than 900 Old Navy locations nationwide, including the location in Aiken. TerraCycle will then take the discarded flip-flops, which many people do not realize are very difficult to recycle and would sit in a landfill for a long time, and use the material to create four playgrounds in communities throughout the country.

Still an Earth Day Opportunity at Old Navy

Even though Earth Day is over, you can still help the planet by doing something that they already do—shop! While setting out on spring shopping this April, you can participate in nationwide recycling programs in Geneva by bringing used flip-flops to Old Navy. Through May 21, shoppers of Old Navy can deposit their used flip flops in colorful collection bins found inside any Old Navy store. TerraCycle will then recycle the flip-flops into playgrounds which will be donated to communities around the country.
