Fixandclean.org

Fixandclean.org began humbly in a California garage in the late 1970s, when a small group of tinkerers started salvaging discarded computers and networking gear. What began as weekend repair sessions grew into a mission: to rehabilitate old hardware and give it a second life. By the 1990s, Fixandclean.org was exporting refurbished machines to schools and nonprofits worldwide, proving that “old is great” when it brings affordable access to technology. The 2000s saw expansion into global partnerships, shipping equipment to Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, while also serving small businesses and families in the U.S. Today, Fixandclean.org operates as both a consulting service and a refurbishment hub, reducing e‑waste while making technology accessible. Its past is rooted in ingenuity, its present in service, and its future in building a sustainable, circular economy where every device is designed to be reused, not wasted.
