Free Geek Toronto

Free Geek was founded in Portland, Oregon in 2000, when one man started collecting cast off computers in the corner of his dining room. He planned to fix them and give them to community members who could not afford to buy them. It quickly grew from a pile of 6 computers to 20,000 computers. Today, there are several Free Geek organizations located throughout the U.S. and Canada.Free Geek Toronto launched in 2009 in the Junction. In 2014, our offices moved to the heart of West Queen West. Our goal is to make Toronto a place where e-waste is disposed of responsibly, safely and ethically, and where everyone has access to computers and the Internet.
