Does Free Geek Arkansas accept broken or very old electronics?

Yes. Free Geek Arkansas accepts most electronics in any condition — broken, dirty, or old. Items are sorted for reuse, refurbishment, or recycling. The only hard exclusions are large appliances, medical devices, pressurized cans, and similar hazardous categories.

Will Free Geek Arkansas wipe the data from my donated devices?

Yes. All donations containing storage capabilities (hard drives, smartphones, tablets) are security-wiped upon arrival. Donors should still back up or delete personal data before dropping off, and must disable activation locks on mobile devices.

Drop-off is free for nearly all electronics. The only exception is damaged, swollen, or broken lithium-ion batteries, which incur a charge of $9 per pound due to the hazardous materials handling required.
