Why are these people taking these boxes out the back door?

Free Geek partners with different organizations and schools to provide volunteer opportunities to people who cannot work at Free Geek's facility. These volunteers provide recycling services in their workshops, and the organization keeps track of the hours volunteers work. These volunteers are also eligible to receive FreekBoxen. A special class might have to be arranged for them to receive their training.
