The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) was happy to donate 2 iPads to the Sunrise Healing Lodge. The devices will be used by staff to connect online with their clients in the Calgary community.
The Sunrise Healing Lodge provides addiction treatments since 1975, through Indigenous Culture & the 12 step program of recovery to people of ALL WALKS OF LIFE. Their all-NEW revolutionary treatment program seamlessly blends culture and the 12-step program, allowing our clients to work through all 12 steps while in treatment, using cultural practices to connect with their spirituality. Sunrise also offers the only TRUE ZERO BARRIER OUTPATIENT PROGRAM of its kind in Calgary. To learn more about the Sunrise Healing Lodge please visit their website.
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.
We work with charities across the country to provide refurbished electronics for their programs. This gives them access to reliable technology while allowing them to apply their resources to what they’re good at: developing programs to help Canadians struggling with poverty, health concerns or are otherwise experiencing misfortune. Because the Electronic Recycling Association is an advocate of equality, we are not specifically affiliated with a given charity. The ERA helps hundreds of charitable organizations each year through the donation of necessary computer equipment. Organizations qualified for donations through ERA’s donation program include: registered charities, non-profit organizations, care facilities (seniors homes, hospitals, daycares, etc.) and educational institutions.
If you are looking to find a new home for a computer you don’t use anymore, consider dropping it off at one of our depots Canada-wide. Or call us at 1877-9EWASTE to see if you are eligible for a free pickup!
