We are surrounded by electronics that constantly need to be powered up. It's easy to accumulate chargers and cords that don't have a home.

Partnering with Free Geek
Free Geek launched on Earth Day 2000 as part of a community-wide public event at Pioneer Courthouse Square in downtown Portland. In September of that year they opened the doors to their facility on Southeast 10th Avenue as a recycling/reuse drop off for electronic waste. Since then, Free Geek has become an industry leader in the fields of electronic waste recycling and digital inclusion programming.
Over the past 20 years they have grown into a 25,000-square-foot community education hub, adding classes, internships, outreach and job skills training to their ongoing commitment to sustainability.
Join the movement to build a future without waste.
