Liberated Tech Moves to the Neighborhood and Helps Keep e-Waste from Landfills

Cascade Patch has just learned that just over a month ago, Liberated Tech moved into a location in Southwest Atlanta as they begin to launch their non-profit initiative.  The official launch date is tentatively July 20th.

Liberated Tech is a nonprofit technology cooperative, who says their mission is to keep Metro Atlanta's e-waste out of landfills and raise environmental awareness while giving people access to affordable or free computers and tech training. 

The group opened in early June at Freeside, which is a non-profit organization, that provides a space that inspires collaboration, creativity, teaching, and open projects for the Atlanta community, off of Metropolitan Pkwy. 

Liberated Tech says this is a temporary workspace and donation center that Freeside has kindly offered while we fundraise and search for our permanent home.

According to a press statement form the company, they will:

1. Provide free computers and free tech training to people in exchange for community service.
2. Grant computer equipment to nonprofits and schools.
3. Offer free or very low-cost tech training to the public.
4. Sell very affordable refurbished computers in our Thrift Store.
5. Provide a convenient recycling center for e-waste open to the public
