History
RECYCLE CYCLES began in 1997 as an OPIRG McMaster volunteer working group. With the support of OPIRG McMaster RC modelled the workshop based on Waterloo PIRG's shop, hired a student to do research, and eventually (1998) found space at Erskine Presbyterian Church. OPIRG McMaster supplied the initial funding to purchase shop tools and pay our first several rent installments. RECYCLE CYCLES was a model in turn for MACycle, and other programs in the city.
