Parents buy their children new tricycles or bicycles when they reach a new milestone. The old bicycles and tricycles generally end up in storage if there is no one to hand them down to. There is just something sentimental about a bicycle that children utilized to master their riding skills. Instead of donating them to a local charity, neighbor, friend, or family member, you stick them in storage.
Most residential trash services do not pick up used bicycles for one reason or another. This complicates things for parents who do not have a means of transportation to a local landfill or recycling center. Our bicycle removal service is available to every member of our local community.
Recycling Used Bicycles
Bicycles are a valuable source of entertainment for young children, teens, and adults. By the time, children reach the age of 5, they are riding some type of toy with wheels.
A bicycle is constructed from a broad range of materials, including aluminum, composite carbon fiber, and titanium. The pedals, handlebar grips, seats, chains, cranksets, derailleurs, forks, headsets, and brakes are made of a variety of materials as well.
The metal utilized to make bikes and bicycle components is recyclable. Recycling these items keep them out of landfills, where they will generate greenhouse gases. If you know anything about greenhouse gases, you know they harm the environment. Recycling is just one way our community members can reduce their carbon footprint and protect the environment from dangerous gases in the process.
What To Do With Your Used Bicycles?
There is no reason to fret when it comes to getting rid of your children’s used bicycles. Unlike some toys, bicycles are generally fairly easy to dispose of. With several options at your disposal, it is possible to get the job done quickly. Depending on which option you chose, the task can be completed in a few minutes or one or two hours.
Recycling is one of the most energy-efficient ways to dispose of an old tricycle or bicycle. You can break the bike down before recycling it. The components can be utilized to build another bicycle or sold on an online auction platform. You can also donate the components to different people.
Some recycling centers accept assembled bicycles. This is a great option for busy parents and seniors who are left dealing with their grandchildren’s old bikes. If you do not have a means of transportation to get the old bikes to a local recycling center, just give us a call. Our bicycle removal is readily available to anyone needing to recycle their old bicycles.
How To Donate Old Bicycles?
Second-hand stores and charities accept used bicycles and tricycles in good condition. Some of these businesses offer pick services for good used toys and other items. If you cannot find a charity that offers pickup services, do not forget our bicycle removal is just a phone call away.
Host A Yard Sale
Parents are always looking for good deals on used bicycles and toys. Some will travel out of their neighborhoods just to find a good used bike for their children.
All parents can utilize a little extra cash to buy clothes, toys, and electronics for their children. Yard sales are a win-win for parents looking for cheap used bicycles and parents looking to make a little extra cash for their children’s used bicycles.
Post an ad in your local newspaper and on social media to advertise your yard sale or garage sale. This will give other parents time to gather enough money to cover the cost of the used bikes and find transportation to your yard sale.
When parents sell their children’s used bikes in yard sales, they are helping poor families.
Are Broken Bicycles Recyclable?

Rubber and plastic materials are also recyclable. Just transport the damaged bike to a local recycling drop-off. The recycling center will do the rest.
