What do you do with worn out chains and other bike parts, other than chuck them in the bin?
I usually keep the best example of things as an emergency spare but the rest go straight in the bin
Seems such a waste, I wonder if I can create some arty masterpiece out of scrape... or a picture frame out of old chains???
Already exists, so yes you can 🙂

Tyres go to the tip, the rest go into a box in the garage.
I even keep all those bits of new chain you remove to make the chain the right length. I'm sure I've enough to make a whole chain now!
They clog up the garage of course and you keep telling yourself that you will use it one day......
Scrap metal pile at the local recycling centre if it's stuff that's really knackered, like old chains/bent handlebars etc.
Some LBSs ([url= http://www.djcyclesuk.com/ ]DJ Cycles[/url] in Holcombe Brook used to be one - don't know if he still does) will take some scrap bits as they have their own scrap metal collected, but I'd expect that you'd have to a) be buying some stuff from them, and b) not take the piss.
As an aside, I manage to shatter a CF road bike frame (or rather the blue VW Polo that hit me did) & there are companies that will take CF for recycling too - [url=www.recycledcarbonfibre.com]Recycled Carbon Fibre[/url] in Dudley said they could recycle a CF frame, but I'd have to deliver to them.
