ERA Makes Electronics Donation Easier Across Canada
Have an unused laptop, cell phone, tablet, or computer sitting at home collecting dust? Your unwanted technology could be given a second life and help support a community in need.
The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is making it easier for Canadians to donate unwanted electronics through convenient residential technology donation options.
Donate Your Old Electronics Without Leaving Home
ERA understands that finding the time to drop off unwanted electronics isn’t always convenient. That’s why we’re making residential technology donations simpler.
Depending on your location, the type of technology being donated, and eligibility, ERA can help coordinate a convenient local pickup option.
For eligible donations outside ERA’s regular service areas, shipping options may also be available, making it possible for people in communities across Canada to participate.
You donate the tech. We help get it there.
What Electronics Can You Donate?
ERA accepts a wide variety of unwanted technology, including:
- Laptops
- Desktop computers
- Cell phones
- Tablets
- Monitors
- Servers
- Networking equipment
- Hard drives
- Keyboards and mice
- Cables and chargers
- Other electronic equipment
Pickup and shipping eligibility may depend on the quantity, condition, type, and location of the equipment.
Give Your Technology a Second Life
When technology arrives at ERA, devices are assessed to determine whether they can be reused.
Whenever possible, suitable equipment is refurbished and prepared for a second life. Refurbished technology can then support ERA’s ongoing technology donation initiatives for charities, non-profits, schools, community organizations, and individuals in need.
Equipment that cannot be reused is responsibly recycled.
This reuse-first approach helps reduce electronic waste while extending the useful life of technology.
Secure Electronics Donation and Data Processing
Data security is an important consideration when getting rid of old computers, laptops, phones, and other devices.
ERA provides secure technology processing and data destruction solutions, helping individuals and organizations responsibly manage unwanted electronics while protecting sensitive information.
Instead of leaving an old laptop or phone forgotten in a drawer, you can put that device back to work while helping reduce e-waste.
