The Recyclery Collective

The Recyclery Collective is an educational bike shop that promotes sustainability by giving access to tools, skills, and opportunities for collaboration. The focus is on refurbishing bicycles to keep them out of the landfill, and empowering youth and adults to learn basic and in-depth bike repair, sharing valuable mechanics skills and resources. Programs include Freecyclery, through which clients referred by social service agencies are matched with refurbished bikes for reliable and independent transportation; Earn-A-Bike, where individuals can earn a donated bike by providing hours of service in supervised bike repair; Open Shop, a do-it-yourself bike repair clinic, and Youth Open Shop for youth 11-18. We also collaborate with local schools to run extensive youth cycling and mechanics programs. Through this programming, we continue to deepen our engagement with our neighbors and the people we serve.
