Your donations are directly used to keep people riding their bikes. Our volunteers are grateful for all donations.
Money Donations
We accept donations by cash, Paypal/credit card, and cheques (payable to the Bike Dump). Donations go towards rent, tools, shop supplies, and shop improvements.
Bicycle and Part Donations
We accept bikes and bike parts donations in any shape, size, or condition. Bring in your used or unused bikes during open hours (6-9 Tuesday-Wednesday and 1-4 Sunday). Unfortunately, we can’t pick up bikes.
Once you donate your bike:
- Volunteers will repair the bike to a rideable condition and sell the bike at the shop. These bikes are sold on a sliding scale based on ability to pay. Money from sales of repaired bicycles go to paying rent, replacing tools, and purchasing supplies.
- Some bikes are used for parts to build new bikes by a volunteer, and leftover parts are sent to metal recycling.
We don’t trade bikes due to concern over laundering of stolen bikes.
Tool and Material Donations
We also welcome donations of tools and materials.
- Hand tools including Metric wrenches, Metric hex keys, Screwdrivers (Phillips and slotted), adjustable wrenches, pliers, punches, and hammers.
- Grease rags, sandpaper
- Toilet paper, light bulbs
- Any other shop supplies
