Working Together to Create More Opportunities Through Technology
At the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA), we believe that strong partnerships create stronger communities. Across Canada, thousands of charities, schools, community groups, and individuals are in need of technology. At the same time, organizations are looking for meaningful ways to support their communities, reduce electronic waste, and strengthen their social impact initiatives.
That’s why ERA’s Partnership Program is designed to help organizations make a difference while receiving valuable benefits in return.
Why Partner with ERA?
The Electronic Recycling Association is committed to reducing the environmental impact of e-waste through the secure collection, refurbishment, and reuse of electronic devices. Suitable equipment is professionally refurbished and donated to charities and individuals in need across Canada.
By becoming an ERA Partner, organizations can:
- Support environmental sustainability initiatives
- Help provide technology to charities, schools, and community programs
- Strengthen their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts
- Increase visibility through ERA’s website, social media platforms, and media opportunities
- Receive priority consideration on donation requests and technology needs
Ways to Participate
Host a Collection Event
Organizations can host an electronics collection event in partnership with ERA. We provide collection receptacles, promotional materials, and support to help make the event successful. Partners can host a one-day event or keep a collection cage onsite for several weeks to maximize participation.
Refer a Business
Do you know a company looking to responsibly dispose of retired IT equipment? By referring businesses to ERA, you can help divert valuable technology from landfills and support technology donation programs. When a referred organization books a pickup, ERA can help allocate donated equipment toward your organization’s technology needs.
Promote the Partnership
Partners can help spread awareness by sharing ERA’s mission through:
- Social media posts
- Blogs and articles
- Videos
- Newsletters and e-blasts
- Website logo exchanges and partnership announcements
Together, we can reach more organizations and increase the number of devices available for donation.
Engage the Media
Partnerships and collection events often create excellent opportunities for local media coverage. ERA can work with partners to promote community impact stories, donation milestones, and environmental initiatives through press releases and media outreach.
Creating a Better Canada Through Technology
Every laptop, desktop, tablet, or smartphone donated through ERA has the potential to change someone’s life. Technology helps students succeed in school, supports job seekers, enables nonprofits to deliver services, and connects communities to critical resources.
Through the ERA Partnership Program, organizations can play a direct role in expanding access to technology while reducing electronic waste and supporting a more sustainable future.
