Bike Collection Drives

Bike drives will be conducted rain or shine, unless otherwise noted. Listings are updated regularly, so please bookmark this page and check back often for the most up-to-date information. Also please note that Bikes Not Bombs requests a $10 per bike donation to defray storage, processing and shipping costs. We can provide a signed, dated receipt for the cash donation and the value of each donated bicycle. Bikes Not Bombs is a 501(c)3 charity under the IRS code, so your donation is deductible to the extent provided by law.

You can also donate bikes in Jamaica Plain at Bikes Not Bombs.

Try setting up a bike drive in your area!

Doing a bike collection drive in your community is a great way to support the work of Bikes Not Bombs. It can get your organization's name out in front of the broader community.

It is an annual tradition with a number of suburban community groups in the Boston Area.

If your youth group, faith community, civic association, school, or business would like to support local youth programs, recycling, environmental stewardship, and economic progress in developing countries, click HERE for more information on how you can organize a bicycle collection in YOUR town.

Also check out Karen's tips she wrote up after setting up a successful bike drive.
