Zero Waste

Bicycling is one of the best ways to go Zero Waste and Zero Waste makes the world better for bicycling. Bicycling saves lives, saves kids, saves money, saves our world, reduces pollution, reduces traffic, reduces waste, reduces climate change / greenhouse gases, increases physical health, increases mental health, increases equity, increases safety, and increases happiness all while getting you where you need to go! That’s a lot of win-win-win-wins!

SVBC practices and encourages Zero Waste to keep our world a safe, healthy, and beautiful place for everyone to ride their bicycle. Please put all trash and recycling where it belongs and not on roadsides.

As an extra bonus, the recycling opportunity below generates visibility and donations for SVBC!
