Time: 1:00pm–4:00pm
Every year, affluent Americans buy 22 million new bicycles and discard millions of old ones, abandoning many more unused in basements, sheds, and garages. Most of these end up in our already overburdened landfills. Meanwhile, poor people overseas need cheap, non-polluting transportation to get to jobs, markets, customers, and schools.
South Orange Middle Schooler Max Gladstone and his family are organizing a Pedals for Progress used bike collection, where they will be collecting adult and kid bikes to send to Nicaragua, Ghana, Moldova, Uganda and Guatemala.
Date: Sunday September 26th
Time: 1PM - 4PM
Location: The parking lot of Beth Hatikvah temple - 36 Chatham Road, Summit, NJ 07901
Bikes should be rust-free. No trikes, but bikes with flat tires in need of some repair are accepted. We're also collecting sewing machines in working condition.
A $10 minimum donation with each bike or sewing machine is required to cover the cost of shipping. The $10, the bikes and sewing machines are all tax-deductible.
