Renew Tech is a non profit community organization that recycles used computers and parts to provide functional computers, education, internet access and job skills training to those who want them.

Renew Tech was founded in June of 2008 as a collaboration with the community to recycle computer technology and provide low- and no-cost computing to economically disadvantaged individuals and non profit and social change organizations.

Renew Tech does most of this work with volunteers, who disassembles and tests the donated equipment and its components, which are then either recycled as electronic scrap or reused in refurbished systems.

Renew Tech is a democratically run organization that uses consensus for decision-making. Our policy decisions are made by a group of volunteers and staff called the council, and those policies are executed by our staff collective. Public meetings are posted on the calendar and discussed on the Renew Tech mailing list (coming soon).

We are proud to be an affiliate of Free Geek in Portland, Or; the founding company in which we are based upon.
