One man's trash.......

Last year, my wife and I collected 17 kids bicycles, 6 tricycles and 4 baby carriages from the trash around our township. Most needed very little work and were like new other than some minor repairs required.

We fixed them all, cleaned them up and donated them to a local church charity to be given to needing families that might not otherwise be able to afford them. I took a small tax deduction for the donation that covered my costs...nothing more.

I look at it as recycling at its finest and making people happy to get what they might otherwise not be able to give to their children.

Every kid deserves a bike to call their own, and parents deserve a decent baby carriage to take their child out into the World.
