Normally, we accept all kinds of bicycles: cruisers, road, mountain, kids and bmx bikes. If the bike has tons of rusty parts and appears beyond repair, it probably is. In this case, you can bring the bike(s) to a scrap yard.
Here’s a listing of some local metal scrap yards As well as a list of donation drop offs for Bikes Not Bombs in Jamaica Plain here http://bikesnotbombs.org/bikedrives
The New Shop Space
RAB is building a new shop space on the Steel Yard site. You can help make this happen! Help us out by making a personal donation, or donate the following materials:
- 8 pieces CDX (3/4″)
- 25 pieces plywood (3/8″)
Other Funding
- $10,000 for a new insulated space at the Steel Yard, to carry out our various programs through the year no matter what is falling from the sky.
- $12,000 x month to give our committee coordinators stipend. With out the investment of these key people and their incredible hard work and dedication to developing RAB, organizing events, finding funds we would not be able to be reliable and have programs that are accessible and affordable.
- $200 for one month of rent
- $50 for a few 2 wheels that could help someone get back on the road after their rim as been destroyed by a surprise pothole, misuse, general wear and tear!
- $15 for a lock – keep it safe!
- $15 for new chains – rust and salty streets get the best of them
- $8 for lights (front and back) so that the rider can see and be seen
