i look at bikes in the trash, too, but they seem to always be too far gone to be worth it for anyone.

Getting Your Hands Oily
In New Britain at Recycle Bicycle, kids are taught how to put together bicycles, and how to grow up in the process

Alot of towns/cities have charity bike projects to get them to people in need of a bike. Look around or as you are in a college town, craigslist it for free or a small $ and it will get snapped up. It is always good to rescue a bike but it can get expensive if you do not watch things which is why bikes end up in dumpsters.
