The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to continue its mission of reducing electronic waste and promoting digital inclusion across Canada. As part of its ongoing charitable efforts, ERA has donated two refurbished laptops to Trades Guild, a Calgary-based organization dedicated to supporting individuals in skilled trades through education, mentorship, and professional development.
This donation will help Trades Guild provide trainees and trades professionals with access to essential digital tools – enabling them to learn, communicate, and grow in an increasingly technology-driven industry. By providing refurbished equipment, ERA ensures that valuable technology continues to have a second life while supporting organizations that make a real difference in their communities.
The Impact of Our Partnership
Through this collaboration, ERA and Trades Guild are bridging the gap between environmental responsibility and community empowerment. With these laptops, Trades Guild can strengthen its training programs, allowing more individuals to gain technical knowledge and digital skills crucial for success in the trades sector.
This partnership also reflects ERA’s broader goal – to ensure that every device collected from donors helps create opportunities for others. By connecting refurbished technology with organizations that need it most, ERA transforms e-waste into a force for education, sustainability, and progress.
About ERA’s Charitable Impact
Since 2004, the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) has been dedicated to environmental sustainability and social responsibility. Through its refurbish-and-donate program, ERA securely collects and refurbishes unwanted electronics for donation to charities, schools, and nonprofits across Canada.
Each year, ERA donates hundreds of devices, helping bridge the digital divide and giving communities the tools to learn, connect, and grow – creating both environmental and social impact through reuse and empowerment.
