Shoes
Wearable, worn out, or down to a single shoe — bag them up and we will collect them free.
Shoes are bulky, awkward to donate, and we hang onto them far too long. Abq Reclaimed makes it simple: free, contactless shoe pickup across Albuquerque, for every kind of pair — and even the lonely singles.
Gently used sneakers, boots, dress shoes, and sandals are in high demand secondhand, so they get cleaned up and rehomed. Blown-out, scuffed-past-saving footwear can be recycled into materials for things like athletic surfaces. Even a single shoe is worth sending — it can still be recycled. We accept footwear in any condition.
For the full rundown, see our guide on what to do with old shoes.
One person, straight talk. Abq Reclaimed is a one-person operation — I'm based in Albuquerque and do every pickup myself. That means I can't always accommodate every request (especially outside the city of Albuquerque), and scheduling can take a few days — but I'll always tell you honestly what I can do.
Free, contactless pickup across Albuquerque. One bag is all it takes.
