As a bicycle commuter, I was amazed that used bike parts are regularly thrown away instead of recycled or reused. I set out to find ways to keep durable and attractive materials out of landfills, at no cost to the bicycle repair shops, and BicycleTrash was born.
BicycleTrash is a DC-based brand of upcycled products, utilizing used bicycle parts to create new items. Bottle openers, 6-pack carriers and accessories are uniquely designed and durably handcrafted to reflect a love of urban bike and beer culture.
