ERA Donates Laptops and Projector to West Hants Historical Society

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to support the West Hants Historical Society in Windsor, Nova Scotia, through the donation of two refurbished laptops and a projector. This contribution helps strengthen local heritage preservation efforts by improving access to reliable technology for research, archiving, and community education.

Preserving community history increasingly relies on digital tools. The donated laptops will assist staff and volunteers with managing digital records, historical research, and online resources, while the projector will support presentations, educational workshops, and public events. Access to dependable technology allows the West Hants Historical Society to better share Windsor’s rich history with residents, students, and visitors.

Supporting Community Organizations Through Responsible Electronic Recycling

As a Canadian non-profit dedicated to reducing electronic waste and increasing digital access, the Electronic Recycling Association works with businesses across Canada to securely refurbish and redistribute surplus IT equipment to charities, schools, and community organizations. By extending the life of usable electronics, ERA helps reduce landfill waste while ensuring community groups have access to the technology they need to operate and grow.

All donated devices are professionally refurbished and securely data-wiped to industry standards, helping protect donor privacy while providing reliable technology to organizations that need it most. ERA’s reuse-before-recycle approach ensures that working devices are given a meaningful second life before being responsibly recycled at end of use.

Strengthening Digital Access for Community Education

The West Hants Historical Society plays an important role in preserving local stories and educating the community about Nova Scotia’s history. Access to updated technology supports their ability to digitize archives, engage the public through presentations, and offer educational programming to schools and community groups.

By supporting organizations like the West Hants Historical Society, ERA helps bridge the digital divide while promoting environmental sustainability through responsible electronic recycling in Nova Scotia.
