What:
Recycling Stations to collect bike tubes, wetsuits, climbing ropes, event banners and more that would otherwise go to the landfill are collected in our easy to set up stations that we help manage.
How:
These stations are at many local businesses and bike shops around the front range. To find a station near you visit our website. http://www.greengurugear.com/recycling.html
People simply drop off their unwated or unusable items and we are able to pick them up and upcycle them into usable durable products.
The Facts:
In 2011 Green Guru turned 4,450 pounds of bicycle tubes into stylish gear.
The Green Guru Bicycle Tube Recycling Program has been collecting and upcycling since 2005 and is continuing to grow at a hungry pace because an avid bicyclist can go through an average of 2-3 tubes per year.
Check out this great review we got in URBAN VELO! Don’t worry we have removed the zipper pull and replaced with a silent piece of cord:) Also not mentioned in the article is that you can even fit a spare tube and a cold beverage if you like. The wet suit neoprene insulates your refreshment as well as shock absorbs that rough ride. No guarantee on fizz though!
Green Guru is proud to announce a new partnership with Kenda Tires and Tubes to grow bike tube recycling program.
Kenda Tires has been manufacturing tubes for over 50 years and is an exciting partner to jump start the new year of Green Guru’s Bicycle Tube Recycling Programs. This program that started in 2005 uses recycling stations to collect bike inner tubes. These reclaim stations also accept wetsuits, climbing robe, vinyl event banners, and more and turn them into stylish, long lasting gear. Check out the beauty of upcycling, the before and after we get our hands on the raw material. Check out our web site for more.
