Put the “Cycle” in Recycle

Help Keep Bikes Out of Landfills

May is National Bike Month, and seeing the number of bikes at our annual Community Cleanup Day sparked an idea of finding bike “recyclers” and repair centers in the greater Portland region. These groups and non-profits in the Greater Portland region accept used bike donations (visit their pages/websites or call to find out current donation needs) and/or offer bike repair services. By repairing your bike, you help keep them out of landfills, and by donating, you help provide bikes to underserved individuals in our area.

Bike Works by P:ear

In addition to providing high quality bike repair, bike works by p:ear builds pathways for youth, ages 15 to 25, to end their homelessness and begin the journey out of poverty by providing meaningful job training opportunities and continuing bike mechanic education.

Community Cycling Center
