    So anyone know of good places to donate working & non working bikes too?

    My scrapping friends wondering what do you guys do with bikes, lawnmowers & snow blowers? Do you list them for sell or have networks or buyers for those? Is there charity's that take bikes vs scrap to repair and refurbish? I know some people have connections to sell bikes wholesale and then are sold locally or over seas. Does anyone have networks for lawnmowers, snowblowers, etc. I have a bunch of working & non working stuff & need to down size ASAP!! Thanks Ron.

    As you see one can find this stuff .
    It's junk
    The customer is the scrap yard
    But some do fix and sell , that's a lifestyle to be able to do that .
    You have your baseline selling price to the yards ,difficult to find a buyer to go above . The items are unsightly till you find
    the higher payer , by then everyone dislikes you due to unsightly views

    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago

    100% agree! Keeping the clutter out of sight is one of the hardest things to do when piling up a certain type of material, whether that be bikes, appliances, or random anythings. Your neighbors can be your worst enemies if you push your luck with eyesores. You can usually get away with it in the country, but it's a lot harder to do in the city.
