Recycling Stinky Socks at Potomac River Running!
Recycling socks at Potomac River Running!
Potomac River Running stores have locations all across Northern Virginia. As Doug and Melissa Landau are avid runners, they often find themselves at PRR supporting this local NoVa business. PRR is a family-owned business that recently passed 20 years of establishment. The company “support[s] countless races and walking/running-related charities throughout the region.” Every Tuesday PRR hosts Social Runs in their Arlington location, welcoming all individuals with different speeds and abilities. Melissa and Doug Landau race in a half dozen of their races each year.
Potomac River Running has a sneaker recycling program that the Landaus often donate to PRR partners with “Got Sneakers” who take your old shoes and give them new life. Read our post on the Abrams Landau Athletes Blog to learn more!
In addition to Got Sneakers, PRR also has a trash recycling program partnered with TerraCycle. “You can bring any of your finished nutritional product wrappers to our store. They turn all that trash into good by creating new products like playground pieces, furniture, and more!”
It’s no secret that PRR advocates for donation programs and environmental solutions. Most recently, the Landaus visited the One Loudoun Potomac River Running store with their grandkids. The corner of the store caught Doug’s eye as he saw a box for sock donations! PRR is working with Smartwool’s “Second Cut Project” for customers to donate their clean unwanted socks. Smartwool is taking these socks to keep them out of landfills and turn them into a new product.
Doug applauds Potamic River Running for taking his worn-out, smelly running shoes (and now fragrant socks!) and encourages others to support and donate!
