What Do You Do With An Old Helmet?

Discussion in 'Clothing, Gadgets & Equipment' started by pasty PFC, Dec 17, 2017.

  1. Started taking the bike apart for a winter clean and service. In doing so I realised I need more room in the garage and I have a number of old helmets.

    What do people do with them? Destroy and bin? Hand over to emergency services for practice? Any other ideas?
     
  2. I bin them. But I like the idea of handing them to the emergency services for training.

  6. ...if I put them in the street here there will be a fight outside in two ticks over who saw it first. But that goes for most anything you put out here.
     
  7. Any charity outfits who take them?

    I was thinking a bit like the African bicycle project. But then again wearing helmets in some of those countries can be a little less commonplace.
     
  8. I like the emergency services idea also! In fact ive messaged a few local friends int services to see if they need many, if so im thinking of starting a drop off donation point at my premises and then pass them on.
    I'll keep everyone informed

  10. Take them to your nearest fire station - they're always grateful in my experience.
