I had the opportunity to get a tour of Free Geek Twin Cities this summeer. Located at 2537 25th Ave, across the alley from Memory Lanes Bowling Alley at 26th Ave S and E 26th St., it provides computer recycling and sells parts and computers. It also can train people in computer maintenance, and teardown. Their mission is to help with the digital divide, and electronic waste. They have a few core volunteers who are dedicated to this cause, and then about 100 on the list of volunteers.
It, like many non-profits these days, is in a bit of financial trouble and needs money, volunteers and promotion help. This is good place to take your surplus and damaged computers and electronics. It is also a good place to find basic computers and parts at very reasonable prices.
