Hello,

Like Seattle, in Salem, OR we have a solution. Our regional recycling center, called the “Transfer Station”, has a separate bin where scrapped or discarded bikes and parts a placed. Once a week our local co-op, The Northwest Hub, collects these. We reuse, recycle and repair or refurbish what is economically feasible and then sort the remaining materials for returning to the recycling stream. As stated earlier, most of this is junk or poor quality, but we do get a remarkable amount of useable stuff.

I understand that the Transfer Station also burns non-toxic combustibles to generate electricity.

Cheers,

Van
