Weird Stuff You Can Recycle

Everyone know thats we need to recycle & reuse more and throw out less, so we know about plastic, glass, paper etc but I bet these weird stuff are things you didn't think you could recycle.

Footwear ~ Just because your traniers are competely wrecked it doesn't neccasily mean that you have to throw them out. The sports company "Nike" have set up a program called "Reuse A Shoe" this is where people donate their old footwear to nike and then nike take it to their Belgian recycling facility were it is grinded up into what they call "Nike Grind" and is used to make things like gym flooring, running tracks and is also made into other useful sports stuff. Here's a link to Nike's recycling program.

Towels ~ Clean used towels can be reused by donating them to local animal shelters as they will use them as bedding for the animals or use them to dry them after a bath. For people in the UK they could donate to rspca (UK) and for the americans: rspca (US).

Sex Toys ~ We can recycle things like paper, plastic and alimution so why couldn't we recycle sex toys? It works in a similar way of Nike's program except it is sex toys that are collected, sorted and then grinded up then mixed with a binding meterial and then made into new toys. Other toys like vibators are taken apart so anything that is salvagable is recycled! Here's the link to recycling sex toys.
