In May, 2025, YLUS West Essex Branch partnered with My Circle of Friends to raise fund for them to organize and support meaningful activities for children with special needs.
Sneaker Guidelines:
We DO NOT accept non-athletic footwear of any kind including but not limited to: dress shoes, heels, sandals, wedges, water socks, rain boots, crocs, and other non-athletic styles. If you have non-athletic footwear that you would like to recycle, we recommend finding a local charity, homeless shelter, or other organization that will accept non-athletic footwear.
Our team is committed to the highest level of transparency and integrity. We do our absolute best to objectively evaluate every pair of sneaker by style, condition, brand, and measurement. However, it is important to understand that sorting and evaluating used footwear is a highly subjective process. At GotSneakers’ sole discretion, each pair will be evaluated by GotSneakers’ professionally trained staff to determine the proper category and compensation level per the sneaker guidelines below: Excellent, Good, Fair, or Recyclable.
Our members asked their schoolmates and neighbors to collect these sneakers. After picking the sneakers up from different friends and neighbors house, they sorted, tied the laced together and packed them into the recycle bags.
