Castle Rock High Noon Rotary Club and Project ReCycle
For a couple of years now, members of the Castle Rock High Noon Rotary Club have volunteered with a great organization called Project ReCycle. This group takes donations of used bicycles, has a work space in Douglas County, rebuilds the bicycles using volunteer labor and then gives the bikes back to kids in the community who might not otherwise have a bike. This program gets kids active by using their bikes, gives them more freedom and mobility and improves the environment by recycling bikes that otherwise might have gone to the land fill and also reduces gas consumption. They do this by not only “giving” a bicycle, but by providing education on how to maintain it and how to use it safely. Over 2,300 bicycles have been recycled in the past 5 years! To find out more about Project ReCycle, check out their website: http://www.projectrecycle.org/
