Free Geek Toronto, a federally registered non-profit organization, embraces the ethos of promoting digital inclusion, environmental sustainability, and community growth. Since its grassroots inception in 2009, Free Geek Toronto has flourished into a social enterprise focusing on technology reuse. It provides affordable computers, presents eco-friendly solutions for unwanted and end-of-life technology, and collaborates with partners to bolster digital inclusion in the city.

Free Geek Toronto operates on a unique model that blends environmental stewardship with digital empowerment and community enhancement. They accept electronics donations, refurbish them, and offer them to individuals and organizations at affordable prices. This practice not only mitigates electronic waste but also ensures technology accessibility for those otherwise unable to afford it. 

Beyond their recycling and refurbishing operations, Free Geek Toronto also provides technology to organizations championing social change, thereby broadening the reach and impact of their work. They offer both in-person shopping and online order pickups, maintaining an online store to ensure their services remain widely accessible.

Free Geek Toronto also serves as an employment social enterprise, offering meaningful employment and skill-enhancing opportunities to individuals encountering multiple barriers to employment. They provide comprehensive training in all operational aspects—sales, refurbishment, reuse, customer service, and recycling warehousing—focusing on technology. This distinctive model equips individuals with crucial digital-age skills while reaffirming the organization's commitment to environmental transformation and social impact.
