I have a carbon road bike that was recently damaged in an accident. The frame was damaged in the left seat stay area. I'd rather not just throw it out in the trash. Is there anywhere locally that I could drop the frame off so that it could recycled?
Not sure if you considered repairing it

don't know who does it locally though.
Edit: there are three links at the end of the article for shops.
I know two people who have had damaged carbon frames repaired by Calfee. They did an amazing job in both cases and it's way cheaper than a new frame. Worth looking into.
You can drop it off with me and I'll do something with it.

Was there an article recently in Dirt Rag about carbon repair? (I seem to remember Calfee coming highly recommended)
If it's unrepairable you could make wall or yard art out of it.
I'll take it off your hands if you don't want it. Seriously. I've been searching for something to make some wall art with.
boostuv, why not just go to FreeRide and ask for something that is junk?
Have you not been in my condo?
Anyone need an old Ti frame cracked through the chainstay?
I will gladly take it if you are giving it away.
