The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to continue supporting community-focused organizations across Canada through responsible technology reuse. Most recently, ERA donated two refurbished laptops to enCompass Community Safety Agency, an organization formerly known as the Edmonton John Howard Society.
This donation reflects ERA’s ongoing commitment to community safety, digital access, and environmental sustainability, ensuring technology reaches organizations where it can make the greatest impact.

By providing refurbished laptops, ERA helps ensure enCompass staff can focus on what matters most – supporting people and strengthening community safety.
Data Security Comes First
Data protection is a core part of ERA’s value proposition. All donated electronics are processed using certified data destruction and data wiping procedures to ensure that no previous information can be recovered.
Organizations receiving donated equipment can be confident that:
- Sensitive data has been permanently erased
- Devices meet professional reuse standards
- Security and compliance are never compromised
This commitment allows community organizations like enCompass to safely integrate donated technology into their operations.
Promoting Sustainability Through Electronics Reuse
Technology donations not only support people – they also protect the environment. By refurbishing and redistributing electronics, ERA helps:
- Reduce electronic waste sent to landfills
- Extend the lifecycle of usable devices
- Lower the environmental footprint of technology
- Support Canada’s transition toward a circular economy
Every reused laptop represents both social impact and environmental responsibility.
