NEW DEALS FOR OLD WHEELS!   MCMUA Sponsors Bicycle Collection on: Saturday, June 12, 2004
GOT OLD BIKES?	The Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority, in conjunction with Pedals for Progress, is sponsoring a used bicycle collection on: Saturday, June 12. 2004 9 a.m. and 12 noon County College of Morris (Parking Lot #1) 214 Center Grove Road Randolph, New Jersey. See Directions Below

Pedals for Progress collects over 11,000 bicycles annually and sends this material wealth to needy people in developing countries. To date, more than 62,000 bicycles have been shipped to countries in Latin America, Africa, and the Pacific Islands. In these countries the bikes are reconditioned by partner agencies and distributed at low cost to poor working adults. These bikes provide them with reliable transportation for commuting to work, transporting produce to market, or accessing health care and other services. Steady employment for these adults is vital to the development and success for these economies.

It costs $30.00 to process, ship, rebuild, and distribute each bicycle. A $10.00 fee per bicycle is required to help defray shipping costs. All cash and material donations are fully tax-deductible, and a receipt will be available at the collection site. Some other items are acceptable, also, but the only charge is for bicycles. Pedals for Progress also seeks the donation of tools, especially wrenches for their overseas shops.

The following are acceptable:

• Bicycles in reasonably good condition
• Bike helmets
• Baseball bats, gloves/mitts and balls
• Soccer balls
• Cleats
• Tools, such as wrenches

The following are NOT acceptable:

• Bikes for parts only
• Disassembled bikes
• Bikes with bent frames, or very rusty frames
• Tricycles

Pedals for Progress is a 501-(C)-(3) corporation and registered charity in the states of NJ, PA, VA, CT, MA, and VT. Brochures explaining this innovative program will be available at the collection site.
