I like how they recycling center exists and how they help people but.....I bought 150$ worth of computer equipment from them on earth day this year. Every item has failed and now i have to return for store credit. The new inbox keyboard had a broken F1 button. The external drive I bought fails to even recognize in any of my computers. The usb multiplug iIpurchased had 1 of 4 slots burnt out. Good for helping the community but for the love of god do not buy anything from that store beyond wires and hdmi chords.
After leaving the receiving area I headed back to the host-counter. She drew up a receipt and suggested donation - for handling my item and putting it back into the community. They suggest an amount, but feel free to give what is comfortable.
Then I went to the donation counter. The host was so cheerful. She explained how it works. I just gave my unused printer to the receiving clerk. I had forgotten some software and manuals, but he declared they didn't need any of those items.
Easy access in and out of this operation. Street Parking. Felt better donating here than a Goodwill for instance.
A great resource for small computer parts, recycled/upcycled laptops, and odds and ends.
I walked through their thrift store first. Like a mini-store of cords, old computers, keyboards, tablets, cases for phones, computers and more.
Unlike the name, nothing is free here. They will take your tax deductible donations of equipment. Mostly computer and electronic stuff. And give you a receipt. Don't forget where you keep it. You'll need it next year for a great big tax deduction. Oh, and they sometimes have a cart for you to use for the curbside drop off. Only about six to ten spots for your car on this street though. You might want to bring your own dolly for a larger load. :) I think there might be an elementary school near here, that takes the available parking after school hours or something. I don't have kids that young, though.
What a great resource: They offer training, volunteer opportunities, free classes. If you make a donation you can receive a discount in their thrift store.
You are allowed to safely donate your unused electronics, most items accepted. No household appliances of course.
My friends at 12:01 computer repair referred me to Free Geek to unload-or donate some electronics. This place is great. I researched them on-line before I went in...their website is very thorough in describing their services.
Great renovation. Awesome products. Shop local and choose to reuse!
