Your old bicycle can be recycled into a lot of things once you\u2019ve brought it in to Alton Materials. Sometimes, though, the best thing your bicycle can become is someone else\u2019s<\/em> bicycle. That\u2019s why Alton Materials has a program dedicated to donating children’s and adult bikes that we receive, at our Alton location, to the Community Hope Center in Cottage Hills<\/a>.<\/p>\n Even if the bicycle you bring in is a little beat up or missing a chain, Alton Materials will be glad to take it off your hands and put it into those of someone who needs it. We\u2019ll handle any cleaning up or small repairs necessary before dropping it off so that it\u2019s ready to ride.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got an old bicycle that doesn\u2019t get used much anymore, consider bringing it in to our headquarters in Alton, Illinois. Recycling is only one of many ways we can improve both our environment and the community. Through these donations to the Hope Center, Alton Materials is working to make our area a brighter place, two wheels at a time.<\/p>\n photo credit: Thomas Hawk<\/a> via photopin<\/a> cc<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Your old bicycle can be recycled into a lot of things once you\u2019ve brought it in to Alton Materials.
