The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) takes great pride in its recent contribution of 10 computers to Action for Healthy Communities (AHC) in Edmonton. AHC works with all people but especially with marginalized and disadvantaged individuals and communities, to build their capacity to address the determinants of wellbeing and prosperity. This donation serves to support newcomers who require computers for their essential online learning endeavors. ERA maintains a robust and enduring partnership with this esteemed organization; AHC helps them collect e-waste while concurrently enjoying the privilege of acquiring invaluable technology resources at no cost.

The ERA (Electronic Recycling Association), is focused on reducing unnecessary waste and/or environmental impact through effective management of retiring electronic and IT equipment. As a non-profit organization with deep community roots, it is our “reuse” focus and donation activities that set us apart from others in this sector. We are an ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 Certified Company that offers pickup services, comprehensive data security measures and subsequent reporting. Individuals and organizations alike move through technology hardware for a number of different reasons, and often there is ongoing productive use.
The ERA believes that “reuse” where ever possible is the most ecological approach to this growing stream, and an excellent way to compel real community goodwill at the same time. The Electronic Recycling Association has a clear mission of reducing electronic waste through computer recycling, laptop recycling and computer donation services. With depots throughout Canada, ERA provides a great way to recycle electronic equipment safely and securely.
