Campus & Facilities carries out clean-up operations in the bicycle parking facilities on campus several times a year. During these operations, old, broken or abandoned bicycles are removed. Loose locks attached to racks are also cut off and cleared away.
Sustainable destination
Discarded bicycles are given a new lease of life at BikeWerk. People who are distanced from the labour market are trained as bicycle repairers and refurbish the bicycles. They often combine two or three discarded bicycles to create one good, reliable bicycle.
Thanks to the collaboration with Stichting Leergeld, many of these bicycles go to children from families with limited financial means.
Would you also like a sustainably refurbished campus bicycle? They are available at a reasonable price in the BikeWerk shop at Regulierstraat 29 in Nijmegen.
