Bicycle Recycle Day in Wayland
When/Where: Saturday, June 22 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at Peace Lutheran Church.
The Buzz: Bicycles for children and adults all too often end up at the transfer station when they've ceased to be used by the current owner. But bicycles in good shape could find a new home with a new rider. Bring your bicycles in good working order to the Bicycle Recycle Day and give you bike a new lease on life with a new rider. There is no charge to recycle bicycles.
BONUS buzz: There is also an electronics and appliance recycling event taking place at the same time at Peace Lutheran. This is a fundraiser so there are some charges for these items. Check out the list of accepted items and associated fees.
