In an effort to promote environmental sustainability and support the local cycling community, Hypercat Cycleworks, located at 4160 Market Street, STE 13, proudly announces the launch of its bicycle tube and tire recycling program.
As fervent believers in the preservation of our planet, Hypercat Cycleworks has partnered with Tannus, a leading bicycle tube and tire recycling manufacturer, to initiate this eco-friendly endeavor. Now, members of the bicycling riding public in Ventura are warmly welcomed to bring their bicycle tires and tubes (butyl only) for recycling. This initiative aims to address the staggering number of tubes dumped into landfills annually, an amount sufficient to tower over the Eiffel Tower at least seven times over!
To facilitate this green initiative, Hypercat Cycleworks has convenient collection boxes at the store. When these boxes reach capacity, they are promptly shipped back to Tannus for recycling, ensuring that every tube and tire contributes towards a cleaner, greener future.
“Our commitment to environmental sustainability is deeply ingrained in our ethos,” says Rachel Sears Casanta, C0-owner of Hypercat Cycleworks. “By offering this recycling program, we hope to encourage our customers to join us in our efforts to reduce waste and protect our planet.”
Hypercat Cycleworks takes pride in being a certified California Green business, a testament to its dedication towards eco-friendly practices. In addition to providing renowned bike fitting services, custom builds, upgrades and repairs, the shop actively seeks ways to minimize its environmental footprint.
Customers eager to participate in this initiative can drop off their used tubes and tires during Hypercat Cycleworks’ regular retail business hours, from Tuesday to Friday, 12-5, and Saturdays from 12-4. To sustain the program and cover materials and shipping costs, a nominal fee will be applied for the items recycled.
Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just starting out, Hypercat Cycleworks welcomes you to be part of this movement towards sustainability. Together, let’s pedal towards a greener Ventura, one tube and tire at a time!
