You've landed on Planet Geek!
We're a friendly bunch of (Toronto) folks, open-source-oriented, environmentally-conscious, and volunteer-supported.
We work to keep e-waste (computers and related gear) out of landfill, putting it into the hands of those who can (re)use it.
UPDATE - donated gear we REALLY need!
Thanks to everyone who has donated gear to us! We currently have a NEED for:
* 3-button computer mice ("mouses"?)
* optical drives (CD or DVD Drives of any type e.g. CD-ROM)
* working hard drives, 20 GB or larger
* DDR desktop RAM (memory)Please look in your basement/closet/garage/storage locker!
We can always use:
- functioning PC system units *Ideal minimum: P4 - 1.2 GHz - 256 MB RAM - 15 GB hard drive, with mouse and keyboard if available. - any working computer gear you no longer need
Donations of time and money are always welcome!
(Please contact us regarding corporate / large-quantity donations)

Free Geek Toronto receives much-needed computers
They called, we responded. Free Geek Toronto, a partner group with whom we work closely, had a shortfall in its supply of used computers - PlanetGeek swung into action, and they now have a renewed supply!
New PC's for clients at Flemingdon Park!
Congratulations, Flemingdon Park food bank, on your new PC resource centre, made possible with PlanetGeek refurbished computers!
Now, clients will be able to access the web, send email, search online for crucial resources, and do so much more.
Thanks to our partner, Pastor Helen Houldcroft, and the hard-working folks at Flemingdon Park! See the photo here.
May '09 - 16 PCs find new homes. Way to go, all!
