Donegal County Council is pleased to be supporting and promoting Letterkenny Rotary Club’s annual School Bikes Africa Appeal in conjunction with Donegal County Council and Bryson Recycling.
As always, bicycles suitable for refurbishing should be strong and sturdy, mountain bike style, have minimum 24” wheel size and mountain bike type tyres.
Racer style bikes are not sought as part of this collection.
Suitable bikes can be dropped off at any of the Council’s six Recycling Centres (Laghey, Dungloe, Carndonagh, Stranorlar, Letterkenny & Milford).
Please check your local centre for opening hours, visit www.donegalcoco.ie or www.brysonrecycling.org.
Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council, Cllr Martin Harley said he is delighted to see the annual School Bikes Africa appeal again this year, to help breathe new life into old bikes.
“It was a no brainer to take the opportunity to continue our involvement with Rotary and this campaign, as it is such a positive one. We are also delighted that the collection of suitable bikes can take place all year round at the six Recycling Centres here in Donegal,” he said.
Donations are sought of the following types of suitable bicycles;
- strong sturdy bikes that can withstand rough terrain,
- bikes to suit both primary and secondary level students, with a minimum of 24” wheel size,
- in reasonable repair,
- and having mountain bike type tyres.
