About the business:

Computers help us in many ways, yet two important issues arise from their use which are problematic. The unfortunate irony is that many individuals- including youth and those on fixed incomes -lack the resources to own a computer or pay for software training while, at same time, obsolete computers and accessories create thousands of tons of waste each year.

Free Geek was born in 2000 out of a desire to point these two problems at each other. We accept unwanted technology, test and rebuild it, and give it to those in need in exchange for community service. A Free Geek volunteer who contributes her time to earn a computer is also helping to solve the global problem of e-waste overflow.
