The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) donated seven refurbished laptops to YBSP Canada (Youth Building in Synergy to End Poverty) through its Computer Donation Program. The laptops arrived in Gatineau, Quebec, on October 30, 2026, ahead of the organization’s November 5 event. The equipment will support YBSP Canada’s ongoing work with young people in the community.
A laptop donation that arrived in time for a local youth event
When YBSP Canada shared its event date with ERA, our team coordinated equipment preparation and shipping around that deadline. The organization confirmed that all seven laptops arrived six days before the event, giving its team time to get the devices ready.
For nonprofits that run youth programs, having laptops on hand can make it easier to plan activities that involve online resources, digital skills practice, or project work. The portable devices can also be moved between activities as program needs change.
Thank you to the YBSP Canada team for working with ERA to coordinate the delivery and for sharing how the laptops will support your work with youth in Gatineau.
How electronics reuse supports nonprofits in Quebec
ERA assesses used electronics for reuse and refurbishes suitable computers for donation. Keeping working equipment in use extends its useful life and helps eligible community organizations access technology they can use in their programs.
A laptop that a household or business no longer needs can still be useful to a local nonprofit. Through ERA’s Computer Donation Program, refurbished computers can support community organizations in Quebec and across Canada.
Apply for donated computers or donate used electronics
Canadian nonprofits, charities, care facilities, and educational institutions can submit an online request for computer equipment. Include the type and number of devices you need and a short description of how your organization plans to use them. Apply for a computer donation through ERA.
If you or your business have laptops, desktop computers, or other electronics you no longer use, ERA can assess them for reuse.
