Site Offers Crocs Recycling

If you have a worn-out pair of Crocs shoes or sandals, you can now recycle them by visiting the Soles United site, with the footwear manufactured into new Crocs products.

Crocs has two recycling locations for consumers to mail shoes, one in Bloomington, California and another in Lockbourne, Ohio. Crocs is also developing a Next Step Tour with free concerts at universities across the country this spring, where students can donate shoes.

To find out a location to recycle or donate shoes for reuse in your area, use Earth 911’s recycling locator.

    We live north of Boston, MA.
    Anywhere nearby where I can recycle my son’s old crocs or do I need to send them off to Bloomington, CA?
    Thanks,

    I navigated to the Soles United Site and saw no information regarding recycling Crocs, just a link to their store. If I cannot find a way to recycle them, I don’t think I should buy another pair.

    I just spoke to the Crocs’ Headquarters. The “Soles United” site is renamed “crocs cares”, but it is temporarily suspended. I left a message for someone to call me back. Anyone who wants to call Crocs to encourage them to continue the program should call 866-306-3179, ext 9. Their office is open M-F, 8-5 MST.
