Wheelbase and Recyclinglives would like to thank everyone who kindly donated their old bicycles as part of our Wheelbase Trade-In offer during January. The promotion which we run at the start of each year is an opportunity for our customers to trade-in an old, unwanted bicycle in return for a significant discount on their new bike.
This year Wheelbase teamed up with Recyclinglives, a forward-thinking recycling company focused on making a difference on a social and environmental basis, turning second chances into extraordinary outcomes.
Recyclinglives place social value at their core, helping to rehabilitate homeless people as well as working with the justice system to support ex-offenders, helping them to reintegrate into society with full-time employment.
The bikes that our Wheelbase customers have kindly donated will be reconditioned where possible back into working bicycles, with the Recyclinglives staff learning new mechanical skills as part of the process. Any parts that cannot be re-used to create a functioning bicycle will be recycled within the Recyclinglives plant and will contribute to the 500,000+ tonnes of green steel and other useful materials that the plant generate every year.
A huge thank you again to all of our customers who contributed to this successful initiative.

Ian from our Wheelbase Lake District store made the trip down to Preston to donate the Trade-In bicycles to Recyclinglives.
All of the donated bikes will now be re-conditioned or, where they can’t be repaired, will be broken down for recycling.
