I have some broken carbon bike parts and I'm wondering if there is a "proper" way to dispose them?
A quick search on the internet tells me they should just go into bin but I wanted to check here before I send them to landfill.
Any ideas?

Don't think they have any recycle value.
Don't think there's any toxicity problem.
My biggest worry with it, is carbon splinters.
I doubt there's any problem with landfill, but I'm no expert on the matter

Can't recycle the resins, carbon is carbon so why burn off the resins to get carbon again..... and its two of the most inert things known to man combined into a tube so I'd chuck it and feel fine about the environment

Unless there is a carbon bike repairer who may benefit from sections to use in repairing frames, if your bike is common and worth $$?
Well, WAS worth $$$ and he may like the bits

Thanks, that's what I thought. I am not too concerned about any $$$, but to do the right thing for the environment

Cool

If its a $10K frame in two or three pieces, I'll have it

it's not quite that expensive but it is in pieces - it was a warranty replacement (the old frame had a small crack) and they wanted me to cut the old frame in half before they shipped a replacement.
it's a full suspension MTB frame and both triangles are cut into two pieces. There is a carbon fibre repairer near where I live and I had a chat to him about potentially putting it back together but decided it wasn't worth it.
