It's World Bicycle Day! 🚲 Vermont has a thriving bike culture, and that means we receive lots of them at our drop-off sites. If they're in decent shape, we either stick them in our Treasure Chest or send them to local reuse partners, like Old Spokes Home and H4H ReStore. ☀️ Most bikes live to ride another day!

Help us name this area! If you've visited Georgia Recycling Center, you may have been directed to this little enclosure. It's where we direct customers with textiles, plastic film, bulbs, batteries, and hardcover books. Our resident nerds have suggested "batcave" or "fortress of solitude." What do you think it should be called?
