Hi,

I have 2 bicycles that are in good condition in my basement, all they need is air in the tires.

Do any charitable organizations in the GTA pick them up for free? I can't fit them into my car for transport anywhere.

I could just place it on the curb on trash day, but i don't want them to end up in a landfill.

I am located in Brampton.

Thanks!

Goodwill and the Salvation Army usually will pickup things like fridges, mattresses etc, I don't know about bikes, maybe call them and see if they will pick them up.

If you put the bikes out on your driveway with a "Free" sign on them, there is a good chance someone will pick them up.

A lot of charities will pick things like this up.

Call Canadian Diabetes Association, they might take it.

I remember last spring this organization was looking for them in Brampton:

Or post on Freecycle, they'll be gone quick!
