EGG HARBOR TWP.-- Residents came out to the Atlantic County Utilities Authority to drop off their used bicycles for proper recycling. Jennifer Husko finds out these unwanted bikes aren't just staying out of landfills, they're actually helping to change the life of someone in need.

Here in the United States, bikes are typically ridden for recreation and many sit unused for years.

So the New Jersey based non-profit organization, Pedals for Progress takes the used bikes that have no real value here in the states, and sends them overseas to provide transportation and opportunity to the working poor of the world.

Peddles for Progress not only provides economic aid for struggling countries, but reduces waste here at home.

So with the generosity of people everywhere, they're helping change the world one pedal at a time.
