CleanScapes Tips: Bicycle Recycling

Saturday, November 13, 2010


There are many ways we can stop waste before it happens.  Every week, CleanScapes emails tips on how to reduce waste as part of the Neighborhood Waste Reduction Rewards program.  


Do you have unused, broken or unwanted bicycles or bike parts? You can recycle them. CleanScapes has partnered with Bike Works and Seattle’s transfer stations to create a new recycling opportunity.

At Seattle’s North transfer station bring your bikes and parts to CleanScapes “RE-CYCLING” dumpsters, which are painted bright green and decorated with bicycle decals. The station is located in the Fremont/Wallingford neighborhood at North 34th Street, near Carr Place North, 1350 North 34th Street.

All of the bikes and parts collected are taken to Bike Works where youth and adult volunteers of all skill levels help sort and repair broken bikes.

This program started in June.  Now in its sixth month, the program has consistently collected 10-50 bikes weekly for reuse, repair and recycling.

The bicycles and parts support Bike Works youth programs, the Bike Works community Bike Shop, as well as two bicycle aid programs that redistribute bicycles to Africa.

Bikes beyond repair are stripped down to the frame and the leftover scrap metal is delivered to Seattle Iron and Metals for recycling.

Reduce first. Reuse what you can, and then Recycle.
