A little piece of Tech Toss history is looking for a new home! We’ve had this awesome vintage mid-century desk since our first 8-Bit August exhibition. 8-but August was one of our first ever public facing events where we were able to set up an entire retro arcade station for folks to enjoy throughout the length of the exhibition. If you’re into vintage furniture or unique pieces of local history, this is a pretty cool opportunity to take home something special while supporting a Chico nonprofit.

Proceeds support our nonprofit’s mission to rescue, refurbish, and reuse technology.

Hi all, our summer internship program officially comes to a close this week. Starting next week we will have new hours of operation.

While our doors are fully open on Wednesdays from 9am to 5pm, we are closed to the public the remainder of the week. To schedule an appointment for tours, meetings, donation drop-offs or equipment pick-ups, please email [email protected]. As we continue to grow and gain funding, we hope to have more drop-in days, but until then, we thank you for understanding! The full weekly schedule is below.

We hope you all enjoyed our intern project, the Tech Toss Syndicate Mini-Series created by CinaCor Studios! Andres and his team put a lot of work into the storytelling and artwork. Should we do a Q&A session for the inside scoop? 🤔
