The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is delighted to contribute a laptop and a projector to the Airdrie Disability Resource and Awareness Centre. This center is a newly established nonprofit organization seeking electronic devices to facilitate educational workshops and provide resources to the Airdrie community and its surrounding rural areas, including Irricana, Beiseker, Crossfield, and Carstairs.
Comprising a dedicated team of professionals and caregivers who have experienced and continue to navigate the challenges of caring for individuals with developmental and/or physical disabilities, the Airdrie Disability Resource and Awareness Centre operates as a Not for Profit entity. Their overarching mission is to provide support for individuals with developmental and/or physical disabilities, as well as their caregivers, by creating connections within a supportive network. Through these connections, individuals can enjoy meaningful engagement within their community, family, school, and workplace. The ultimate goal is to establish an inclusive community where no barriers exist for those with developmental and/or physical disabilities, fostering an environment of support that empowers these individuals to achieve their personal aspirations.

At the Electronic Recycling Association, we strive to help foster a community of innovation and connectivity. As a non-profit ourselves, we see first-hand what supporting the communities we operate in does for those living there. Providing electronic devices allows these charitable organizations to continue in their mission of bringing people together in a creative space.
Reusing electronics to create a new community program reduces how much e-waste ends up in our landfills. If you’re not using a printer, laptop, or projector, many organizations that operate locally in your town or city could greatly benefit from it. Donating a laptop to the ERA means another organization will be able to utilize it to start a new program, on-board more administrative staff/volunteers, or teach youth and seniors a new digital program. As our society continues to advance in technology faster than ever, the demand for updated electronics to support these community initiatives increases as well. Check out our list of charities waiting for a donation of computers here.
