Our activities:
COLLECTION
We collect all types of sports gear (clothing, equipment, bicycles, etc.) to give them a second life.
STORE & WORKSHOP
All donations collected are sorted, refurbished, and then sold at low prices in our charity shop.
We also offer a bike repair space where tools and spare parts are made available to perform repairs at a fair price.
AWARENESS
La Recyclerie Sportive works with various stakeholders (local governments, businesses, schools, clubs, community centers, etc.) as part of outreach initiatives. Our initiatives focus on environmental education (waste prevention, the impact of sports) and active mobility (co-repair, bike school, mechanics workshops)
SOLIDARITY-BASED MOBILITY
To make active mobility accessible to those who need it most, La Recyclerie Sportive develops programs to teach urban cycling (bike school, getting back in the saddle, road safety, solidarity-based equipment rental). These initiatives are aimed at a diverse audience: schoolchildren, adults, people who are unemployed or isolated, etc.
INTEGRATION
The association runs a Work Integration Workshop focused on bicycle repair activities. This program helps individuals facing barriers to employment achieve socio-professional stability. Over a period of 6 months to 2 years, employees in the integration program receive socio-professional support, work in a production environment, and receive training in bicycle mechanics
