Community Centred Environment Education Centre

We are currently building a new community bike repair shed in North Canberra to provide affordable, reliable second-hand bikes and to build the community’s bike repair skills.

Since moving to our new location at the Canberra Environment Centre in North Canberra (Harrison), we’ve been making do in an old shelter shed designed for rubbish collection and storage. Which is ironic considering that we’re actually upcycling old bikes in there and repairing them for sale to divert from landfill!

The Recyclery is passionate about equipping people with bike repair skills and making cycling accessible to everyone but we really need a proper bike repair shed to do this in. So, we’re currently constructing The Recyclery Community Bike Repair Shed in Harrison and we’d love your assistance in helping us get it to the grand opening.

Here’s Where You Come In: We’re seeking donations to help us finish fitting out the shed to create a vital sustainability resource for the community.

We’re planning to reduce the new shed’s environmental footprint and improve its sustainability by installing a water tank, cladding it with plywood and adding insulation. We’ll also install shelves and buy additional community bike repair stands, tools and consumables ready for use. This will help transform it into a safe, welcoming and functional bike repair shed!
