Free Geeks Save Landfills

Linc

A non-profit group in Portland, Oregon is taking "junk" computer parts and stripping them down for recycling or rebuilding them into new workable machines.

Since its inception, Free Geek has refurbished approximately 6,000 computers using 5,000 volunteers and has recycled 1,000 tons of material, keeping it out of landfills. Just this month, they celebrated taking in their 300,000th donated gizmo.

They should be in every major city...
