...the old waste transfer station out on Kiefer Blvd here was great, back when they let the public go in there.
There was one section for bikes, and there was a pile of Raleigh 3 speed type bikes in there that looked like it was ten feet high.

I don't even want to speculate on how many of those are under the dirt now, since they filled it all in.

The only way to get bikes from the local waste management people now is if you have a connection with authorized entry.

I know there are a lot of old bikes that no one much wants any more, because I was the donations guy for our local co-op for a while, and it seemed like the supply was endless. Somehow you have to come up with a way, or ways, to tap into it. Here in California, Goodwill has pretty much stopped selling any bikes they get donated in the stores, and just auctions them off by the pallet. But most of the auction pickup spots are inconvenient, and it's local pickup only. OrcasIsland did score a nice older Follis there recently.
