Previously known as Lane County Computer Recycling Center and before that as MacRenewal, this is an organization similar to Free Geek but located in Eugene, Oregon.

They specialize in putting used Macintosh computers and all manner of electronic equipment back into use. Free Geek used to give all its Macs to them, and they sent unusable ones up here to be recycled. Recently with the development of our own Macintosh program, we've been using more of the Macs right here in Portland.

Lorraine Kerwood is the founder of this organization, which predates Free Geek by a year or so.
