[SDCBC] FW: Tire recycling.

[Kevin Reindl]

So I sent emails to 4 of the bike stores in town (Performance Bikes, Bicycle
Warehouse, Trek and B&L Bike and Sports), just to see if any of them
actually recycle tires/tubes. Here is the first response I received...from
B&L.

I, for one am glad to see this...I like to support stores that are good
environmental stewards (besides just turning a profit).

Hi Kevin,
Yes, its true.  Take your tires to our San Diego store, 3603 Camino del Rio
West, San Diego, 92110 and put them in the big bin on the floor.  The tires
and tubes are ground up and used in flooring products.  We do this program
in conjunction with Specialized.

Since you're probably a recycling fan, just FYI, our shop is one of the only
ones which recycles scrap metal from bike repairs.  We recycled a few tons
of metal last year.

Keep cycling and recycling,

Scott
