With the increasing number of bikes in Singapore, we believe that everyone will want to know how to dispose of old bikes in Singapore. Before that, let’s understand why the usage of bicycles is popular in Singapore.
First, due to the expensive car ownership permits, most families are willingly choosing to use bicycles, small vehicles, or public transport to perform close-distance activities.
Second, although Singapore is a small country, the cycling roads and facilities are comprehensive. Therefore, cycling to work, buying groceries or having a family cycling activity is very convenient in Singapore.
Especially for food delivery men, most of them willingly choose to use bicycles because it can save more money.
Third, Singapore bicycle prices are very cheap. And the bicycle is a very good personal transport for 3 years old until 80 years old.
According to the above, that is why it is very common for families to own an average of 1-3 bicycles in Singapore. But once you want to replace an old bicycle or discard an old bicycle, you often find that you don’t know how to handle this kind of large garbage or a bicycle or scooter with electricity.
And this article can help you understand the different kinds of bicycle handling methods. Let’s start!
