Recycling
We recycle all discarded steel and aluminum parts, tires,tubes,and all paper products.Note: The recycling facility charges us 15 cents a pound for the tires and tubes,which we usually bring by the hundreds... so please consider donating cash towards this when donating bikes with bad tires,or just a bunch of dead tires and tubes.
We use as much as possible biodegradable lubricants,degreasers,etc.. which we buy in bulk to reuse all the smaller containers,all other containers get recycled as well.
