    that’s a great idea and makes me wonder how much bicycle part recycling anyone is doing…i read in Potomac Peddler recently of an effort in MD (monty county?) to facilitate ‘tire’ recycling cause bicycle tires weren’t accepted with car tires…how many tires, tubes and helmets are shops tossing into the trash everday?

    Great thinking, Adam. I focused on the helmet, but what about recycling the other bike parts that are changed more frequently.

    I’ve recycled small metal parts through Arlington’s curbside program (as instructed by their waste management office). Conte’s in Ballston used to collect tires and tubes for recycling, but have stopped.
