Safely Dispose of Unwanted Devices in Winnipeg
The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is collaborating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) of Manitoba & NW Ontario, along with the BBB Education Foundation to present a FREE event focused on shredding and recycling electronics. This event is designed for local businesses and consumers and will take place on September 14th, 2023, at Polo Plaza -Winners/HomeSense parking lot, located at 875 St. James Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba. The event will run from 10 am to 2 pm.
Dispose of your unwanted electronics, including computers, laptops, cell phones, gaming consoles, printers, and tablets, all the while safeguarding your electronic data and personal information against cyber theft. You have the option to either drop off your items or conveniently utilize the drive-through service, and we will manage the items from there. The ERA team will perform a data wipe on the items before proceeding with recycling or refurbishment of the equipment.
Electronics that are refurbished or successfully recycled through this initiative will be contributed to the following organizations Agape Table Inc., Broadway Neighborhood Center, Elmwood Community Resource Center, and Active Aging Manitoba.
