Local Planet Fitness Launches Community Sneaker Drive To Benefit Massachusetts Youth

Sneaker recycling drive runs Aug. 9-Sept. 8 at MA clubs, with all proceeds benefiting area Boys & Girls Clubs 

WHAT:  Planet Fitness locations across Massachusetts are teaming up with GotSneakers to launch a sneaker recycling campaign from August 9 through September 8, 2025. The initiative encourages members and community residents to donate their gently used sneakers to help support local Boys & Girls Clubs while promoting sustainability.

Gently used sneakers can be dropped off in collection bins at participating Planet Fitness locations (noted below) throughout the month-long campaign. Once collected, the sneakers will be processed by GotSneakers, a national organization that recycles and reuses footwear to reduce landfill waste and promote sustainability. All proceeds from the donations will directly benefit local Boys & Girls Clubs, helping to fund essential programs and services for youth.
