Assuming the local bike donation service is similar to the one in our neighborhood...They likely will not take it.
The bike cannot be made safe as is and none of the parts on it are usable on another bike.
Sure, its technically a donation, but it ends up being a liability because they would have pay to dispose of it.
Better to hand the bike donation service $10 and throw the bike away in your own trash.
Reminds me of our dump run a couple times a year. People are always coming up to us.
"You can't throw that out, its a perfectly good bike"
"Sir, we donate everything worth donating. These are just scrap metal. Please climb out of the pit. We already cut the tubes so no one would hurt themselves trying to ride them"![]()
