The Colborne electronics recycling event collected 961.50 pounds of unwanted electronics on September 1, 2026. Residents and businesses brought unused devices to the Computers for Cancer Electronics Recycling Day in Colborne, Ontario.
Hi-Tech Solutions Computer Services and The Sian Bradwell Fund for Children With Cancer hosted the event. The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) supported the collection. Together, the partners helped raise funds for the Oncology Department at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). The event took place during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
ERA Donates Laptops, Tablets, and a Projector
Alongside the collection, ERA donated three standard laptops, four tablets, and one projector. The donation supports the fund’s work with children and the volunteers who help them.
We’re glad we could be part of Computers for Cancer. Thank you to our partners for organizing the event and to everyone who volunteered, spread the word, or dropped off electronics. Hi-Tech Solutions Computer Services · The Sian Bradwell Fund for Children With Cancer
What Happens to Electronics After a Collection?
First, ERA checks which devices it can reuse. ERA securely processes devices that store data and refurbishes suitable equipment. It then donates reusable technology to charities, schools, and nonprofits. ERA sends the remaining equipment for responsible recycling.
Host an Electronics Recycling Event With ERA
Your business, school, or community group can work with ERA to collect electronics and support a local cause. For example, you could host a public drop-off day or invite employees to bring unused devices to work. If you have secure storage, you could also run a collection over several days.
ERA can help you choose a format, provide promotional materials, and share a list of accepted items. After the event, ERA can pick up and process the electronics. If you’re planning a fundraiser, tell us which cause you’d like to support and where you’d like to host it.
