Recycle Your Bicycle Event

Release Date: 2026-03-18

The City of Long Beach invites residents to take part in its Recycle Your Bicycle event on Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 9 a.m. to noon. The Energy & Environmental Services Department, in partnership with the City’s residential recycling hauler WM (formerly Waste Management) and Pedal Movement, will host the event as part of the City’s Bike Month activities.

Bicycle reuse keeps valuable materials out of landfills and expands access to transportation. Donated bicycles will be refurbished and provided to local nonprofit organizations that distribute them to community members that need them. Bicycles or parts that cannot be reused will be responsibly recycled.

Accepted Bicycles

Residents are encouraged to bring gently used, nonmotorized bicycles (no e-bikes) to any four designated drop-off locations across the city.
