Donate a Bike

The Recyclery needs your used bicycles, bike parts, and tools

Donate a bike to The Recyclery Collective in Rogers Park, Chicago

A donated bicycle will be given to a neighbor in need through our Freecyclery program, used in our youth bike classes, or repaired by one of our mechanics and sold at an affordable price. We rely on these donations to keep all of our community programs running.

1. If you can bring your donation to our Rogers Park shop, drop it off during any of our public program hours:

  • Saturday 11am – 2pm
  • Monday 12pm – 3pm and 5:30pm – 7:30pm
  • Tuesday 5pm – 7pm
  • Wednesday 6pm – 8pm
