In the beginning. . .

Aluminum can and scrap metals reclamation operation was scheduled for today. The day got off to a late start today due to weather. The first snow of the year fell during the night, and although it was mild as far as snowfall goes, there were concerns regarding the possible hazardous conditions of the roads due to freezing temperatures. When it was decided that conditions had improved enough to allow for the reclamation operation to finally begin and it was time to hitch the bike cart up, it was discovered that someone had heisted the bicycle. Well it looked like it was time for another kind of reclamation operation! After a bit of scouting the bike was located nearby and promptly liberated from it's captors. As for the despicable individual who stole the bike, may his or her dharma bring swift retribution against them for their actions. After those minor glitches in the plan were overcome, everything went exceptionally well.

I would like to unveil the U.W.R. project's first bicycle trailer built completely from reclaimed parts and materials without the use of power tools (or hardly any tools at all actually).

The Urban Waste Reclamation Project is in need of more bike trailers. If you or anyone you know has an old child bike trailer that is no longer being used and would like to donate it for use in the construction of additional trailers for the U.W.R. project please contact the U.W.R.P. with details via the Contact page.
Thank you to everyone who has shown and continue to show support for the U.W.R.P.!
