Dismantle

A huge shout out to the local residents who’ve donated their old bikes to Western Metropolitan Regional Council 🙌🏽

Thanks to this incredible initiative, more than 200 bikes a year are diverted from landfill and put to work engaging at-risk young people through Dismantle’s BikeRescue program.

Every participant dismantles and rebuilds one bike to keep, and another that’s donated back to the community.

To date, we’ve worked with over 3,000 disadvantaged young people and recycled close to 5,000 bikes in the process.

Turning waste into opportunity, and old bikes into fresh starts 🚲✨

🏆 We’re very proud to share that Dismantle and our social enterprise, ReNew Property Maintenance, have been nationally recognised at the Australian Crime and Violence Prevention Awards (ACVPA) at the Australian Institute of Criminology.

The ACVPA celebrates programs that reduce crime and build safer communities. We’re honoured to be recognised for an approach that restores purpose and dignity to young people’s lives, proving that when you invest in people, you create stronger, safer communities.

This award belongs to every young person who’s shown up, every staff member who’s backed them, and every partner who’s believed in the work we do.

A heartfelt congratulations to all the winners.

Built it. Nailed it. Now we ride. 🚲🔥

Congrats to our newest BikeRescue grads 🤙🏼
