The Brookings Community Bicycle Collective will intend to promote the use and appeal of bicycles within the Brookings area.  The collective will establish a network to acquire discarded, unwanted, or otherwise donated bicycles through contact with local businesses, property owners, the campus and city police departments, and the community at large. These bicycles will be recycled into use or salvaged for parts or processed to local recycling facilities as a two-fold service to the community--providing cheaply available bicycles and parts as well as reducing waste and clutter.  The donations accrued by the shop will either be utilized by it's volunteers to produce salable bicycles to fund the collective or made available for community members to repair for personal use or to use toward the repair of bicycles already in their possession, under instruction from volunteers and with the use of the shop's tools and space.
