Bicycle - Scrap & Parts

Scrap and parts of a bicycle may include a metal frame, gears, pedals, handles, or wheels.

Consider offering high quality older bikes to community bicycle repair and redistribution organizations.

DIY repair through iFixit or other online repair resources such as The Culture of Repair & The Crucible's Bike Repair Manual & Bike Maintenance Manual, or Bikeride's repair video tutorials by bike part.

Drop-off electric bicycle batteries for recycling at Call2Recycle e-bike collection sites- which are often bike shops.
