 ===What Happens to Your Computer When it is Recycled?===
-Computers that are deemed obsolete or broken are demanufactured and separated into their basic components by volunteers. Free Geek then finds a local industrial recycler to process the materials.  We work with companies that we are confident are handling the materials in an environmentally responsible manner.

 Free Geek heartily supports the '''Basel Action Network''' http://ban.org and their efforts to reduce the irresponsible disposal of e-waste.  '''All signatories''' http://ban.org/pledge/Locations.html of the BAN Pledge have agreed, among other requirements, to: prevent hazardous e-waste from going to municipal incinerators or landfills, prevent the export of hazardous e-waste to developing countries, and use free-market rather than prison labor to dismantle or recycle e-waste.
