media release: Take part in this ultimate hands-on recycling event at the Big Breakdown on Saturday, September 27, from 12pm-3pm at Bikes for Kids Wisconsin! We invite you to let off some steam and rip those bikes apart!
Experience a circular economy in action at this event focusing on our sustainability efforts. One of the programs we provide as a service to the community is our Community Bike Disposal Service. It’s challenging to dispose of bikes in a responsible way, it requires us to pull of any non-metal parts which means we need specific tools to break apart bikes. This is one of the reasons we see many people placing bikes in dumpsters despite the Dane County Landfill not accepting bicycles.
This means we are left with a sizable boneyard each year, these are bikes that cannot be saved. We will pull them apart and use the parts to restock our parts bins, saving us money on purchasing new parts. We don’t talk a lot about our sustainability efforts although they are plentiful.
We need to make space for our upcoming Bike Collection Season. Sign up to volunteer by clicking the button below!
YOU CAN ALSO DONATE UNWANTED BIKES AT THIS EVENT!
WE ARE SEEKING A SPONSOR FOR $500 TO HELP US PROVIDE REFRESHMENTS FOR VOLUNTEERS. PLEASE CLICK TO CONTACT US FOR INFO or call us at 608-405-0385.
