Recycle a Bicycle
-
The City of Phoenix no longer directly coordinates a recycled
bicycle program. Arrangements have been made by the Human Services
Department to have the St. Vincent DePaul Society at 420 West
Watkins accept bicycles for refurbishing. Individuals are learning
how to fix bikes, which are then given to clients that need
transportation to and from work. Please give St Vincent DePaul a
call at 602-261-6854 for more information.
Metal bicycle parts and frames are accepted in blue Phoenix Recycles containers. However, the pieces need to be small enough so that container lids can close.
