Aspen is teaming up with the Carbondale Bike Project

The city of Aspen is teaming up with the Carbondale Bike Project to host a used bike drop-off event on Friday, June 13, from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Rio Grande Recycle Center, located at 618 Rio Grande Place.

Community members are invited to donate used or broken bicycles during the event. Usable bikes will be refurbished and distributed to those in need, while non-functioning bikes will be disassembled and repurposed for parts to build new ones. The effort aims to promote sustainability, reduce waste, and support access to cycling within the broader Roaring Fork Valley.

In addition to the drop-off, the event will include prize giveaways, a free “Bike Maintenance 101” course, and light refreshments.
