Sign up for our newsletter Support Free Geek's COVID-19 Emergency Response Support free geek Free Geek’s mission is to sustainably reuse technology, enable digital access, and provide education to create a community that empowers people to realize their potential. Technology is rapidly changing. Computers, monitors, printers, and other electronics are all being replaced every few years. The resulting electronic waste — referred to as e-waste — is the fastest growing toxic waste stream in the United States. According to the EPA, roughly 2.4 million tons of e-waste are created each year. Free Geek is where retired electronic devices can find new life. Free Geek staff and volunteers work hard to refurbish the electronics we receive. We maintain strict data security standards when processing any data-bearing devices that pass through our facility. By choosing us as your e-cycler, your electronics will be properly disposed, or given back to the community through our digital inclusion programs. Learn more about what we do 1.3 million items have been diverted from landfills by Free Geek since 2000. 72,620 technology devices have been granted back to the community since 2000. 17,936 classroom hours have been logged by Free Geek learners in the last 6 years.
