Every kid needs a bike. But bicycles can be expensive and that means some people are left without a pair of wheels.
And a lot of bicycles get thrown away and end up in the Meridian landfill. Those bikes often just need a little love and repair to be rideable once again.
So the Recycle a Bicycle program was born. It’s a collaboration between Meridian’s Solid Waste Advisory Commission and Republic Services.
Steve Cory with Meridian’s Solid Waste Advisory Commission and Republic Services’ Municipal Services Manager Rachele Klein joined Gemma Gaudette to talk about the program. Online applications are closed for the year, but you can still get a bike at the Commission’s booth at the Explore Outdoors Bicycle Bonanza on May 16 at Discovery Park in Meridian.
