Activity: Launch of Bike Reuse and Repair Scheme

Mid Ulster Council in collaboration with East Belfast Mission (EBM) are launching a new initiative to ensure bikes left at recycling centres, across the region (Cookstown, Magherafelt and Dungannon) are given a new lease of life.  Suitable bikes left at the council recycling centres will be stored and then collected by EBM who will organise repair and onwards sale, ensuring these bikes are kept in use for longer.
