How long has Free Geek been around, and how did it start?
Free Geek got its start as a good idea that was presented at a booth at the Earth Day festivities in 2000. In September, 2000, the facility on 10th Ave was opened as a recycling and re-use dropoff. It’s all been a process of evolution springing from the original good idea: using a community service model, get “obsolete”, but still usable, systems diverted from the landfill and into the hands of people who need them.
