Why Purchase a Refurbished Computer?
Let's take a look at the environmental reasons to purchase a refurbished computer.
Why Removing Your Accounts Before Donating Your Phone Actually Matters
Every year, millions of smartphones change hands. Yet one of the most overlooked steps in that handoff is also one of the most consequential: properly removing the Apple ID or Google account tied to the device before letting it go.

what people are saying

We build community capacity within Toronto

“I learned so much more about computer hardware and how to refurbish computers. I also felt like I was doing something meaningful while volunteering. Helping take in computers that aren't needed by some people and making them accessible to the people that need this technology is such a great thing. Overall it's been a great and fun experience volunteering with Free Geek Toronto."

- Lily, 2022
