The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) was delighted to be part of East Village Neighbourhood Association’s PURGE ‘N SPLURGE in Calgary, AB on September 17th, 2022. The annual event allows residents of East Village to bring home a new treasure, donate to those in need, and/or rent a table to sell their gently used items.
All items will be data cleaned by the ERA team and then recycled or refurbished before being donated to organizations in need of technology in the Calgary area.
If you need help organizing a collection event contact the ERA. We will provide necessary resources (staff to assist with collection if necessary and confirmed in advance, collection bins, removal of equipment) as well as assist in handling the creation of marketing materials for your event (posters/flyers for you to distribute). All you’ll need to do is share event details with all of your contacts to ensure your collection is well attended.
