Bike Recycling Guide
Bikes are meant for riding.
If you’ve got a bike that you’d like to pass on to a new rider, or if your bike needs some help to get back on the road, We can help! There are lots of ways to help your old ride find a new life.
Explore the links below to find the right next step for your bike’s journey.
Want to donate your bike?
Bike recycling is back in 2024.
Spring 2024
August 19-August 23
Bring bikes in any condition to The Woodlands Township Environmental Services office at 8203 Millennium Forest Drive next to The Woodlands High School. (PLEASE NOTE: this is NOT the main Township office building on Technology Forest Drive.) Township staff members will be available Monday 8/19, Tuesday 8/20, Wednesday 8/21, Thursday 8/22, and Friday 8/23 from 8 AM to 5 PM to help you unload your donated bikes and move them to a secure storage space.
Can’t make it to the event? Need help transporting your donation?
Email us at info@bikethewoodlands.org and we can help arrange transportation to help get your bike on its journey to its next rider.
If your old bike is ready for a new rider:
Several local resale shops will accept donations of bicycles in good condition. We recommend the Interfaith Hand-Me-Up Shop and Something Special (part of the Montgomery County Women’s Shelter).
If your bike needs a small tune-up:
There are several local bike shops that do great work tuning up bikes with repairs big and small. We also recommend the Bike Minded Guru, a local bike mechanic who does house calls. Check out our Friends page to find links to great local vendors and shops.
If your bike needs a major makeover:
Bike The Woodlands will accept bikes that need a small tune-up before finding their new home. Email us below to learn more. We’ll collect bikes and pass them on to our friends at Recycled Cycles of Texas for refurbishing, after which they’ll be passed on to riders who need new wheels.
Our next bike recycling events are:
Monday 8/19/24-Friday 8/23/24
Fall & Winter events TBA
In spring 2021, Bike The Woodlands partnered with The Woodlands Township and Recycled Cycles of Texas to donate more than 20 refurbished abandoned bikes to the Interfaith Hand Me Up Shop.
Since then, we’ve been working to find ways to promote and support bike recycling in our community. Stay tuned for more information on future efforts to connect old bikes with new riders.
