When someone wants to donate a computer or related item to Free Geek, they do so in Receiving. This area is Staff only for data security purposes, however a volunteer runner may assist the staff member when large donations or rushes occur. There is a Receiving calendar now available for pre-notification of Receiving staff and volunteers.


First, meet the donor

  1. Ask if they're here to make a donation. Direct them to the store or front desk if they are not.
  2. There is a $10 fee for CCTV's and if a large business (10+ employees) brings in more than 7 CRT monitors or TVs.
  3. Help them unload.
  4. As they unload, fill out a tally sheet, indicating quantity of each type of item they are donating (Check inside boxes! Donors like to repackage).
  5. Give them the tally sheet and direct them to the front desk.
  6. Finally, thank them for donating! They are the first step to keeping e-waste out of landfills.

Items we do not accept

There are certain items that people might try to donate that we do not accept. You can suggest that people contact Metro Recycling Information Center at (503) 234-3000 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday for instructions on how to properly dispose of these items. There is also an "Other Recyclers" list that they can pick up at the front desk.
