Pickups

Free Geek does pickups on a limited basis.

How people can request pickups

People contact Free Geek with questions about pickups in lots of different ways (email, phone, in person, etc). When people are interested in learning more about pickups, they should send an email with specifics about the equipment to be picked up to pickups@freegeek.org . Look at Pickups Intake for more details as to what info should be provided when they send their email.

Logistics

When: Every Thursday

Driver: Sergio

Things we usually bring:

• carts from Receiving (one per person)

Things we bring, as needed:

• handtrucks (for donations with lots of stackable boxed equipment)
• pallet jack (for palletized donations)

The truck needs 10-15 minutes to warm up properly, and then it's good to go.

There is lots of lifting involved, so be sure to use proper lifting procedure to avoid injury.

NPA Schedule

At present, Receiving is triple-staffed by NPAs on Thursday mornings to both provide extra coverage to the area and allow for the setup of a rotating schedule for people to help out with pickups. The schedule below will change as staffing in Receiving changes.

In the event of a pickup that has a lot of heavy (e.g. enterprise) equipment for collection, an additional NPA from Receiving will be asked to come along to help.
