The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Looking to up your bike bag game? Have gear gathering dust in the closet? Come to the shop, trade in your used items, and North St. Bags will give you a discount on your next purchase.

This summer, North St. is partnering with the Community Cycling Center, a PDX-based nonprofit, to connect your old bags with cyclists who need them.

Gently used or nearly new bike bags will be donated to low-income cyclists who may not otherwise be able to afford them. Packs with more wear and tear will head to the production line for upcycling. North St. Bags will create limited-edition runs of your favorite accessory packs out of the salvage, and then auction them to raise funds for their 1% for the Planet partners.

What kind of bags?

All bike bags are welcome. Panniers will qualify for a 20-percent discount coupon toward your next purchase. All other bike accessories may be traded for a 10-percent discount. Before you bring in your used bags, please empty and clean each one. No major stained, moldy, or smelly bags will be accepted, but wears and tears are okay. Bags will be repaired before donating them, if possible, or they'll be deconstructed for salvage material.
