They take all kinds of electronics, working or not. They fix what they can and sell parts and working gear for cheap. Recycle what they can’t sell. Keep stuff out of the landfill.

In addition to keeping e-waste out of landfills, their services include "wiping" personal data off hard drives on returned PCs and a they have a collection of used, even vintage electronics for sale. The place carries the vibe of an old school tech-nerd Radio Shack on steroids feel. Who knew visiting a registered non-profit business dedicated to ethical e-waste disposal could be so much fun!

This is one of those hidden gems that everyone should know about. Imagine a goodwill with reasonable prices and its 100% electronics and that is Free Geek. From laptops 3D printers and PC's to cameras and 8 tracks they have just about anything you could possible want or need. Oh and dare I mention the ENTIRE ROOM of power cords for any device you could imagine. This is not even touching on the amazing staff that all volunteer here. I truly hope this becomes a place that grows and thrives for years to come.
Lovely people to work with
My Volvo key fob was damaged and I tried a few different avenues. Free Geek fixed it in under 30 minutes, were delightful, creative, and overall a life savor! Thanks guys!
