Refurbishment / Recycling

Around 60% are refurbished and put back on the roads. The rest are dismantled and spare parts reused on other bikes. Anything left over is sent for recycling.

We also take any unused parts and accessories, such as old locks, lights, bike panniers etc. The only things we cannot take are old bike helmets.

So far, we have taken in over 400 in one year. Don't let your old bike go to waste.
