Can I recycle my old shoes?

Recycle your old shoes at participating Hype DC Stores.

We've partnered up with the Australian Sporting Goods Association to help reduce the amount of footwear in landfill. 

WHY

Each year, over 25 million pairs of sports shoes are imported into Australia, with only 1% estimated to be recycled. Once they reach landfill, these shoes can then take up to 1000 years to decompose. 

WHAT

We can only accept sneakers, trainers/runners, athletic lifestyle and sport brand shoes, thongs/slides, football and golf boots for recycling. Business footwear, steel cap boots, work boots, wedges/heels/pumps and boots cannot be collected at this time.

HOW

Simply bring your old sneakers into a participating Hype DC store (listed below), where it will then be collected and given a new life by ASGA.
