Donating a Bike
The Recyclery can use your used bicycles, bike parts, tools, old t-shirts (for rags) and office supplies. You can deliver bikes to the Drop-off Locations listed below. A donated bicycle will be given away to people who need them through our Freecyclery program, used in our youth classes, or repaired by a mechanic and sold for an affordable price at one of our sales. We rely on these donations to keep all of our programs running.
