We promote keeping bicycles out of landfill. Bicycles by their nature are very difficult to recycle as they have different grades and types of metal used in their construction. They also have rubber tyres and inner tubes. the contact points can be made from various different types of plastics. The whole thing is a headache for the recycling centres so they tend to throw them into general waste (or land fill as it is better known). We take the bike and strip it down. We are yet to come across the bike that doesn't have some salvageable parts. We clean and service the parts and restore them to their former condition. More importantly, your donation will make a positive change in someones life. It could help someone find and keep a job, help a child get to school or help someone get fitter and healthier.

CycleRecycle focuses on keeping bikes and parts out of landfills both in the UK and globally. While we support the idea of sending bikes overseas, we prioritize local recycling to ensure bikes are repaired and reused effectively. Shipping bikes abroad can lead to foreign landfill waste and a higher carbon footprint, which goes against our eco-friendly values.
