I have a road bike frame/fork and a few other bits which are all usable. Other than taking them to the tip/recycling point, is there anywhere that could make use of them?

I just don’t want to take to the tip unless I have to.

Cheers.

there are a few place around the country that will take bike parts and re-use them to build bikes for folks who can;t necessarily afford brand new – they also allow people to learn new skills building bikes up. Where are you based?

I’m based in Shropshire.

Tips near me (Leeds) will take decent stuff and sell them in a shop they have in the main one, assume money they make goes back into the council.

edit.

My local tip has a drop-off point for bikes / bike bits that are then collected by a local bike recycling charity

As well as the charities that collect/fix/sell bikes to the less well off here there are charities who also / instead  send old bikes/parts over to Africa. One of them –  ‘Re-Cycle’ –  has drop-off points in some branches of Halfords.
