Free Geek Arkansas (FGAR) accepts donations of electronics from the community at large. The donations are tested and sorted into four categories: Reuse, Refurbish, Repurpose, Recycle. Reuseable and Refurbished items are sold in the Thrift Store. Volunteers build computer towers from “Repurposed” parts. Others, diagnose and repair computers and other electronics using “Repurposed” parts. Volunteers also teach each other, share knowledge while working at FGAR. When customers come in with a problem, one of our volunteers will teach/show the customer how to diagnose and fix their problem, at no charge, unless they need parts. If a customer doesn’t want to learn, we charge an hourly fee for service plus parts. Last, but not least, FGAR gifts computers and service to other nonprofits and individuals who have a need and who would not otherwise have access to the technology.

Our expertise lies in Electronic Waste. We accept, at no fee, everything electronic at Free Geek Arkansas except for small appliances such as coffee pots, toasters, etc and larger appliances such as microwaves and, finally, very large appliances such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, etc. We don't care how old something is nor whether it works or not. Ah, yes, and we take software, books, cds, dvds, etc as well.
