Recycling Bike Parts / How To Recycle Bike Parts
Posted: 21 Mar 2013, 12:23
Hi guys and girls,
Is anyone aware of whether cassettes / chains / chain rings and other parts (comprising alloys, duos and trios of metal not standard to the recycling stream) that are worn beyond useful may be recycled in residential recycling bins?
Also, a question that might make this a more useful thread is, do these parts that also contain some plastics mean they will be removed from the recycling stream, or is it dependent on whether the alloys and plastics are suitable for recycling and may be ready separated by crushing / manual handling?
I do acknowledge though that if they are not worn beyond useful, we should make every effort to donate disused parts to the various bicycle re-cycling and re-purposing organisations around.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony.
