By electronic recycling association December 19, 2025

12 Days of Christmas Electronics Giving Campaign

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to support The Discovery Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, through the donation of four refurbished laptops, one printer, one monitor, and one projector as part of ERA’s national 12 Days of Christmas Electronics Giving campaign.

This donation reflects ERA’s commitment to secure electronics recycling, professional refurbishment, and technology reuse, ensuring that decommissioned IT equipment is transformed into meaningful tools that support education, innovation, and community engagement.

Supporting Science Education Through Technology

The Discovery Centre is Nova Scotia’s hands-on science centre, inspiring curiosity, creativity, and learning through interactive exhibits, educational programming, and community outreach. Reliable technology is essential for delivering engaging science education, managing programs, and supporting day-to-day operations.

The donated equipment will help The Discovery Centre:

  • Support educational workshops and science programming
  • Enhance presentations, demonstrations, and interactive learning
  • Improve operational efficiency and digital access
  • Expand outreach and community engagement initiatives

By providing functional, refurbished technology, ERA is helping strengthen the Centre’s ability to inspire learners of all ages.

Bridging the Digital Divide in Halifax Through Technology Reuse

Access to modern technology remains a challenge for many educational and non-profit organizations due to budget limitations. ERA addresses this gap by securely refurbishing and redistributing donated electronics to organizations that serve the public.

This donation helps to:

  • Expand access to essential digital tools in Halifax
  • Support STEM education and community learning
  • Reduce electronic waste through responsible reuse
  • Deliver measurable social and environmental impact

For businesses and IT leaders, ERA’s IT asset disposition (ITAD) program demonstrates how retired electronics can support ESG goals, sustainability initiatives, and community investment, while maintaining strict data security standards.

Secure, Sustainable, and Socially Responsible Electronics Recycling

All equipment donated through ERA undergoes certified data wiping, professional testing, and refurbishment in accordance with industry best practices. By prioritizing reuse before recycling, ERA helps protect sensitive data, reduce landfill waste, and maximize the positive impact of donated technology.

ERA’s Commitment to Community Impact in Nova Scotia

Through initiatives such as the 12 Days of Christmas Electronics Giving campaign, the Electronic Recycling Association continues to support charities, non-profits, schools, and educational organizations across Nova Scotia and Canada with refurbished technology.
