Hello! We're talking with managers at our city eco stations (household waste dropoff sites) about their collecting bikes that we (Bike Edmonton) can then pickup to reuse. They already get a lot of bikes dropped off in their scrap metal bins, but these are all scrapped at the moment. I wondered if any other groups have arrangements with waste drop-off sites/reuse centres to do this? If so, can you share the arrangement you have and process you use. Do you select useful bikes from a big pile, do workers there filter out what they think are good bikes, or do you have to take them all? This seems to be one of the bigger challenges we need to figure out.
Thanks very much!
