Just a short question for anyone interested in recycling. I am all for donating. But after the last purge, I had put my 15yrs old leather boots

into the regular trash bag mixed with other non-recyclable household waste. Old stiff leather, worn, unhygienic ....thought those old leather boots were just plain old crap. I donate only those old shoes (clean+good quality) that I bought and never wore much for whatever reason. Now I read that Nike recycle old athletic shoes. Next clean out day is coming soon! So my question is:
Were my 15yrs old leather boots...

  • recyclable materials - I was wrong
  • or non-recyclable gross waste which should be incinerated - I was correct ???

I put stuff like these in the clothing bins - then the experts can decide whether it's worth anything or landfill material.

But I have sold some fairly exhausted boots on Trade Me (NZ's answer to ebay). It's amazing what some people will pay for!
