One is a "strider" and the other has training wheels.. i feel awful putting them at garbage..

 

honestly, as your P.D.

Leave them curbside with a "free" sign taped to them.  

I donated outgrown bikes in the past few months to the local Boys & Girls Cub.  The make repairs / tune-up and sell them of give them to those in need.

I donate a lot through Goodwill stores.   They mostly don't take children's toys (concern about lead in the Chinese imports), but I doubt that stops them from accepting bikes.  For larger stuff, Vietnam Veterans and the Lupus Foundation do pick-ups.

When I lived in NJ I just used to put anything I didn't want at the end of the driveway. Nothing ever lasted more than a few hours.

yes true to the end of driveway thing..    asking the PD is a good idea..   

thanks!

These are normally taken by guys driving around they take them and resell them,

I rather donate to needy.

I just wanted to get rid of stuff. I can't be bothered worrying about where it is going. Who says that the person/group you give it to doesn't just scrap it or resell what you give them?

Any military bases around you? Local VFW or American Legion?

True, I was just replying to the Ops title, that said donate.

But your correct you really don't know.

Used bikes have about 0 value.

I fixed up an old 10 speed i got for free, (put in a tire tube) and lost money on the deal when it sold on ebay.

 

Put them up for free on Facebook marketplace.  Will probably be gone same day.

Used bikes were a hot item this summer. 

I don't know if bikes are getting restocked, but COVID put a run on bikes and most box stores (walmart etc.) were sold out this summer and used bikes were selling for money.
