Have an un-used bike lying about? Put your old bike to good use through Bikes for the World at the Arlington County ECARE on June 21! Donations welcomed of serviceable bicycles of any model, bike parts & accessories including tools & clothing. And portable sewing machines in operating condition. Items donated will support community programs around the globe providing access to jobs, education, health care, and youth development. A suggested $ 10 per bike helps defray a modest share of the expenses of getting a bike and supplies to a qualifying destination. Bikes for the World is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit agency and provides a receipt good for tax purposes for all donations.
At the same time, but separately, Arlington County will accept residents’ old electronics and batteries, household hazardous materials, and scrap metal. Details for the County event can be seen at https://www.arlingtonva.us/Government/Programs/Recycling-and-Trash/Events/Spring-2025-E-CARE
