The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to have clients like Pembina Pipelines who is a large contributor to our donations program. Together we donated 20 laptops to the Calgary Drop-in Centre to assist their clients in need.
Pembina Pipeline Corporation is a dynamic energy transportation and midstream provider, serving customers for more than 65 years. Communities welcome them and recognize the net positive impact of their social and environmental commitment.
The mission of the Drop-in Centre is to welcome adults at risk of or experiencing homelessness. Working collaboratively, they provide access to a spectrum of care that supports each person’s transition to the most independent living possible—including emergency shelter, programs and services, and affordable and supported housing.

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is a non-profit organization founded in 2004 to address the growing problem of e-waste and the increasing ‘digital divide’. For over fifteen years, ERA has offered simple solutions to help individuals and organizations prevent operational equipment from premature destruction. With a focus on recovery, refurbishment and reuse, ERA continuously supplies charitable groups with donated IT equipment while securely managing the retiring IT assets of organizations and individuals across Canada.
We believe that reuse before recycling is critical in managing the waste created by computer hardware, and by offering industry-leading data destruction for all equipment we receive, we have securely repurposed hundreds of tons of equipment. Because not everything ERA receives can be reasonably repurposed, we have partnered with certified recycling organizations to process equipment that has reached the end of its productive life.
If you would like to get involved in helping your community, simply drop off your unwanted computers, laptops, cellphones, tablets, etc to the ERA at one of our depots Canada-wide. Your preloved device could make a huge difference in the life of someone in need. Call us at 1877-9EWASTE or book a pickup online.
