How You Can Help

FREE GEEK Michiana needs computer systems to refurbish and distribute.

Please drop off your donated equipment at the:

• FREE GEEK Michiana warehouse at South Bend Warehousing and Distributing, dock 113 S/W by the gate at Lafayette Street and Marcus Drive, just south of the intersection of Lafayette and Bronson Streets, in South Bend, IN
• Tuesday evening (6:00 - 9:00 PM) and Thursday evening (6:30 PM - 8:30 PM)
• Driving directions to our warehouse

Remember there is a $15 recycling fee for all monitors, no exceptions.

FREE GEEK Michiana accepts a wide variety of computer equipment you might bring us. However, if your computer equipment is older than a Pentium II or Mac PowerPC, or, if it is broken, we appreciate a cash donation to cover processing.

Truthfully we always appreciate a cash donation!
