ReCYCLEry NC

** The ReCYCLEry announces new hours!!!  Sundays from noon to 5pm (starting August 15).  Thursdays from 7 to 10pm (starting August 26).  Special events on Saturdays (check the website).  Class schedules and more days coming soon!!!**

The ReCYCLEry NC is a non-profit that accepts donated bicycles and teaches bicycle repair and maintenance skills to community members while they earn their own bikes.  Part of our mission is educating the community on bicycle commuting and repair.

The ReCYCLEry NC also travels to communities in and around Carrboro and Chapel Hill (and occasionally Durham and Raleigh) and conducts Mobile Repair Days, where we take our tools and fix bikes on demand, on site.

With thousands of bicycles earned and thousands more repaired, and with gas prices and environmental awareness on the rise, the demand for the program is increasing exponentially.  Check our event listing for details on our upcoming repair days.

Over the years we've formed many critical alliances with organizations in and around Carrboro/Chapel Hill.  Ask how you can join the growing list of ReCYCLEry partners.

Now you can get the latest updates by following us on Twitter @recyclery_nc or join us on Facebook at Carrboro ReCYCLEry.  Do it today!
