In 2006, Free Geek recycled 495.93 tons of material.  We could not have done this without our material handlers who pay us to separate the stuff and actually do the recycling.  In order to keep Free Geek from being crushed under the weight of our bad or obsolete donations, a fair amount of phone calls, e-mails, and fork-lifting is required...
