Front Range, dude...
So I am cleaning out the shop in prep for our move back Stateside...and have run into tithe usual detritus of a couple years of thrashing about the woods and mountains on a bike. Bent and broken parts, old tubes and tires etc. In the past I have given the rubber away to recycling guys, artists and such, and metal stuff to recycling. Now I have carbon fiber (Hockey and bike stuff...) and no idea what to do with it. Dont want it in a landfill...need ideas.

What do you do with old parts of any sort?

I bring a box full of stuff once a year to the LBS I used to work at. Useless to me is worth something in "the graveyard" out back. A derailleur cable fixing bolt or a shifter top cap is a real victory when you're trying to help a customer out with a repair. If they're smart, they'll be stoked.

If there's a chance it could be usable, I'll stick it out by the curb and put an ad on craigslist.
