Community-led: purpose-driven
Circular Communities Scotland's report shows that a year of bike re-use saves an estimated 200 tonnes from landfill in 2023/24.
By recycling pre-loved bikes, we prevent their components, such as steel, aluminium, and rubber, from being needlessly discarded - instead giving good bikes a 'second life' for others to enjoy.
We know that every small step towards a brighter, greener future matters, and we work in tandem with our wonderful Bute community to make a difference for all.
