Recycle a Bicycle
A project of the Meridian Solid Waste Advisory Commission and Republic Services with support from the Meridian Community Recycling Fund.
Recycle a Bicycle connects refurbished bicycles with riders.   Gently used bikes have been rescued by Republic Services. Through a partnership with the Meridian Solid Waste Advisory Commission and Republic Services bikes will be repaired and put back into working order.    Bikes of all shapes and sizes are available - from big to small.  There are year-round benefits to unplugging and riding a bicycle. If you need a bicycle, we can help. 

This year we will be re-homing another 40 bicycles.  The majority of the bikes are sized for younger children, but youth of all ages and adults needing a bicycle are encouraged to sign up.  The program is free.

This is “first come/first serve” application process.  Sign-up closes on Friday, April 29 at 5:00 pm.  We are sorry, not every applicant is guaranteed a bicycle.  Meridian residents will be given priority.    You will be contacted by Wednesday, May 4 if we have a suitable bicycle to meet you needs.  

Bicycle pick up is on Saturday, May 7, from 10 am - 2 pm in Kleiner Park during Unplug and Be Outside Kick Off at Shelter B1. 

For more information about donating and securing a bicycle  call,  Rachele Klein at (208) 685-7739 or email  RKlein@republicservices.com

Applications are closed for 2022.
