With a little creativity and effort, you can minimize the growing problems of garbage going to the landfil. The best way to manage your waste is to not produce it, reuse, recycle and repurpose your solid waste.

Recycle your Bicycle Parts !

If you are an individual with a bicycle or two, or bicycle parts and accessories that are hanging around your basement, it is usually most practical and cost effective to reuse and recycling it for another purposes.

Generally bicycle tires can be recycled in the same manner as vehicle tires. So here are some creative uses for your waste bicycle parts and accessories to copy. Enjoy!
