▶ Bike Donations

No one wants to throw out a perfectly good bike, and even one in rough shape can be used for parts or for training bike mechanics.  When the time does come to part with your faithful wheels (or that bike that's been in the garage for decades), don't just leave it out on the curb hoping someone will see it before the garbage truck picks it up and crushes it!  Be sure your bike will be useful to someone else by taking it to a recycling centre or collection point.  Cycling is good for the environment; double down and donate as well! ♻️  EVEN BETTER: Donate your CAR 🚘

Recycle your Bicycle at a Peel CRC

[Updated: September 15, 2025]

The Region of Peel accepts used bicycles in good condition at Community Recycling Centres (CRCs).  In Mississauga, the Battleford and Fewster CRCs are listed on the Region's CRC locations webpage (with map links).

There are guidelines for dropping off bicycles at Peel CRCs in the reuse drop-off area, FREE of charge.

Periodically, various non-profit groups that can use bike donations, pick up the available bicycles at a CRC.  Questions?  Call 3-1-1 for the latest information from the Region of Peel.



Mississauga Cycles

[Updated: September 15, 2025]

Newcomer youth ages 14-30 can register for drop-in bike repairs, support our events, or participate in a six-week earn-a-bike program.  In addition, any eligible member of the public may sign up as a volunteer mechanic to help us refurbish bikes at our weekly repair sessions. -- Mississauga Cycles website

Do you wish to donate a bike (in working order or easily fixable condition)?  Contact: Rahul Mehta, Active Living Specialist.



TOPCA Painted Bicycle Planters

[Updated: September 15, 2025]

The Town of Port Credit Association began their public art/beautification project in honour of Port Credit's 175th Anniversary in 2010.  TOPCA acquired, painted and displayed several painted bicycles around Port Credit and provided the baskets and flowering plants once physical installation is complete.

TOPCA keeps the project going to this day through ongoing bicycle donations, as new locations are added or if a bike planter needs replacement.  TOPCA volunteers water and maintain the baskets seasonally.

IMAGE: This much-photographed red bike planter at the Port Credit harbour is part of TOPCA's Painted Bike Planters Program and is often seen on Mississauga Tourism brochures and promotional materials issued by the Port Credit BIA.

▶ TOPCA will occasionally accept used bicycle donations suitable for bike planters.  Contact: TOPCA@topca.net



Donate your CAR

[Updated: August 24, 2024]

While we are on the subject of donations, getting rid of a second car is realistic and economical as cycling increases.  There are agencies which specialize in picking up donated cars for charity (you get the tax receipt).
