Campaign tells walkers 'these boots were made for recycling' They may not be the most obvious environmental ill, but walking boots are the latest item to become the focus of a nationwide recycling campaign. Walkers are being urged to collect up old pairs of boots for the UK's first Walking Boot Amnesty. Branches of GO Outdoors will collect the boots until the end of April, which will be recycled and distributed to Oxfam stores. Staff at the outdoor clothing and supplies retailer say because walking boots are built to last, they are made of materials that are not normally biodegradable. Many pairs end up in landfill and those which are incinerated can release harmful dioxins into the atmosphere. Article
