XmisterIS Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I have just got a new helmet because I bonked the old one. It seems a shame to just chuck the old one out; I wonder if there are any places that take them in, take them to bits and re-cycle whatever can be re-cycled. Or do I just chuck it in the bin?

rollazuki Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 We used to see how tough old lids were by crushing em in the jaws of the tyre fitting machine. Some lids defeated the machine altogether. It was excellent fun..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 The shops cut the chin strap before disposal to make sure no-one can reuse them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Contact your local riding schools - they may want it to cut through to show new riders what the helmet is made of, and how it reacts to a bump.Save's throwing it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
