FOSTERING A BETTER COMMUNITY, ONE COMPUTER AT A TIME

By electronic recycling association October 28, 2016

The Electronic Recycling Association (The ERA) is a non-profit organization committed to fostering a better community through effective electronic waste reduction and the support of charitable organizations through technology donations.

Many people throw their computers away when they no longer want them or send them in for recycling. What they may not know is that most recyclers do not reuse items but simply dismantle and recycle them, eliminating the potential for an individual in need to receive and use the item. The ERA’s number one priority is the reuse of electronics that can still provide value to people who need them and communicating this message to our communities.

Our message is simple: Reusing items not only reduces the need to expend the resources necessary to create brand new items, it also gives people in need the gift of access to technology.

We have partnered with hundreds of charitable organizations, non-profits, care facilities and educational institutions over the years with the ultimate goal of ensuring that people have access to the equipment they need. Last year alone we were able to donate nearly 1100 refurbished computers to deserving people – and countless other tech (smart phones, projectors, monitors, servers etc.).

ERA has a long list of outstanding donation requests, and all donations we receive help us fill these requests. Your unwanted computer equipment will help us create a better community!

Please consider donating your unwanted electronics to the Electronic Recycling Association. To find out more about our reuse programs, or how to apply for a donation for your own charitable organization, please contact us at info@era.ca or call 1.877.EWASTE.
