Free Geek Twin Cities recycles several tons of electronics each year, but our primary focus is getting the donated technology reused. At the heart of our mission is the Build Program, where donated computers are refurbished into working machines that use the Linux or Windows operating systems. These computers are then donated to non-profit organizations, or sold in the thrift store.

Free Geek Twin Cities volunteers not only refurbish desktop computers, but also work with laptops, Apple computers, motherboards, network devices, optical drives, cards, RAM, and related components. Other electronics, such as AV equipment, video game consoles, cables, and anything we can work with, will also get reused.

Mission

Free Geek Twin Cities is a community of technology enthusiasts dedicated to digital inclusion, reuse, and responsible recycling. We accomplish this by providing affordable electronics, offering education and experience, and repurposing technology.
