"Dozens of abandoned bicycles collected by the Newburyport Police Department were saved from the landfill and are now in the hands of local children and soon, children across the globe in Africa.
"The roughly 40 bicycles were collected by the police department over the last year and then taken to Riverside Cycles in the Tannery, where they were repaired and refurbished."
A recent Daily News of Newburyport article reported on bicycle recycling programs in Newburyport, Massachusetts.
