Old Chain and tire Disposal/Recycling

Posted on
  • Every time I have to change old chains and tires on my bikes I wonder if there is a proper way to dispose or recycle them.

    Same for inner tubes, although I do save some for chain protectors.

    I have googled on the subject but have not found conclusive answers.

    Read a similar thread on tires, so I am mostly interested on chain disposal, but I thought it doesn't hurt to revive the topic.

    Any thoughts or suggestions?

  • Chains can be cleaned and recycled as saddle locks.

    I use heatshrink tubing so they don't scratch frame/saddle rails:

  • AWESOME!!!
    Thanks guys

  • my south african neighbour is always asking me for old inner tubes, he uses them to strap things down, tie things up etc.

    make for good whips too apparently if youre into that sort of thing

  • Chainmail?
