Plant a Tree With Every Pair of Sneakers
Choose Impact Over Income
SNEAKERS IN. IMPACT OUT.
Each pair you collected keeps sneakers out of landfills and helps restore critical forests across the globe—from mangroves in Kenya & Tanzania to reforestation projects in Haiti.
When you collect used sneakers with Sneakers4Good, our Green Sneakers program plants a tree for every pair through our verified partner veritree. Through this partnership, you’ll receive transparent impact data on every tree planted.
1 Pair = 1 Tree Planted

Gather sneakers or running shoes from customers, supporters or members. Give them a second life and keep them out of landfills.
Fill your prepaid boxes with gently worn, used or new sneakers and request a pick-up through our portal, UPS or FedEx. Shipping is completely free!
For every pair you send, we plant a tree through veritree and share verified impact data with you. You make a difference, locally and globally.
