Why Participate?
Protect Your Data
All electronics collected by ERA are processed using secure data destruction methods that meet industry standards. Devices are professionally wiped to ensure all personal and confidential information is permanently removed.
Reduce E-Waste
Electronic waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally. Recycling responsibly helps keep harmful materials out of landfills and reduces environmental impact.
Support Your Community
Whenever possible, collected devices are refurbished and donated to local charities and non-profits. Your unused electronics can help bridge the digital divide and provide access to essential technology.
Whether you’re clearing out old laptops, computers, phones, or other electronics, this event makes it easy to recycle responsibly while making a positive impact.
Join us at the RA Centre this Earth Month and be part of a growing movement toward sustainability, data security, and community support.
