The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is excited to partner with Siksika Family Services for a month-long Free Phone & Tablet Collection Drive, launching November 20th, 2025. This initiative provides individuals, families, and organizations with a simple and responsible way to recycle their unwanted or unused devices while supporting an important community cause.
From November 20th to December 20th, 2025, participants are encouraged to drop off phones and tablets that can be securely processed, refurbished, and donated to support the programs and mission of Siksika Family Services.
Supporting the Community Through Sustainable Technology
The event will take place at Central United Church, offering a convenient indoor drop-off location for gently used or end-of-life phones and tablets. All donated devices will be handled by ERA’s secure processing systems and refurbished whenever possible before being given back to Siksika Family Services.
This partnership underscores ERA’s ongoing commitment to working with charities and organizations across Canada to extend the life of technology, reduce electronic waste, and support meaningful community initiatives.
