How pricing works for bicycle recycling
We charge by volume, which is how much space your items take up in the truck. We have a minimum charge for very small loads; from there, prices go from 1/8th of a truck up to a full truckload. We also have special pricing if you only have one single item. We can give you an exact price once we see the items in person.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get rid of old bikes?
There are several ways to get rid of old bicycles. If your bike is in good condition or can easily be repaired, you might consider donating your old bike to a charity, thrift store, or acquaintance in need of a bike. You may even be able to donate your broken bike for parts.
If your bike can’t be fully repaired, you can recycle your bicycle at a local specialty recycling facility. Contact your local recyclers to find out if they can accept bikes for recycling.
Can old or broken bicycles be recycled?
Yes, you can recycle bicycles! Before taking it to a recycling facility, consider the condition your bike is in. If it’s still in working order or could easily be fixed up, donating it is the best option. Even if it can’t be fully repaired, it could potentially be used for parts to help fix up other bikes. It’s always best to see if your bike can be fixed or used in other ways before deciding to send it for recycling.
If your bike is at the end of its life cycle, nearly every piece can be recycled. Bikes frames, chains, and brake pads are made of metal and rubber that can be disassembled, broken down, and made into brand new products. Old bicycle parts can even be reused and built to make new bicycles!
Make sure to check with your local recycling facility to see if they recycle bikes, as not all facilities are equipped to handle them.
Where can I take or donate old bikes?
At 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, we always try to donate items as much as possible. If you have an old bike to get rid of, we can help! We work with all types of local organizations that will accept bike donations, including thrift stores, children’s charities, bike shops, and nonprofit organizations. We’re happy to help you get rid of any old bikes or other unwanted items—let us take care of the heavy lifting. All you have to do is point!
Can you scrap bicycles?
Yes, bicycle frames are made from a variety of metals and materials, such as aluminum, titanium, and carbon fiber, that can be sold at a scrap yard. Once accepted, the bikes are broken down and the materials are separated by type in order to be sold and further processed. However, selling them for scrap metal often isn’t worth the hassle, as most places don’t pay very much for them.
Instead of going through the hassle of haggling with a scrap metal buyer, consider hiring a professional junk removal company like 1-800-GOT-JUNK?.

Real customer reviews, typos and all ;)
Quick and easy junk removal, arrived promptly for my 6:30pm appt time and cleared all my stuff within an hour! Offered to help move items to my car or stay later to help clean my apt. Made the removal of my couch, box springs, dining table, and TV stand a breeze.
Deandre and Justin E are so friendly and know what they are doing! They definitely made the process of removing my mattress and box spring a breeze. I have used this company before and have always been so happy with the end result. Thanks so much for removing my junk.
Latjhor and David were exceptional at moving out a bed frame from my apartment complex. They were very professional, full service to move everything, and got it all done in less than half an hour! HIGHLY recommend their service for any furniture removal needs!!
