ERA Donates Laptops to The Salvation Army Edmonton Centre of Hope
The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) continues to demonstrate how responsible IT asset disposition (ITAD) can deliver meaningful community impact. As part of ERA’s national 12 Days of Christmas Tech Donations, the organization donated two refurbished laptops to The Salvation Army Edmonton Centre of Hope in Edmonton, Alberta.
This donation reflects ERA’s commitment to secure electronic recycling, technology reuse, and digital inclusion, ensuring retired IT equipment is repurposed to support organizations serving vulnerable populations.
Supporting Community Services Through Technology Reuse
The Salvation Army Edmonton Centre of Hope provides essential programs and services to individuals and families experiencing hardship. In today’s digital-first environment, access to reliable technology is critical for job searching, education, communication, and accessing online services.
The donated laptops will be distributed directly to clients in Edmonton, helping them build digital skills, stay connected, and work toward greater stability and independence.
Bridging the Digital Divide in Edmonton
Many individuals facing economic or social barriers lack access to functional computers, limiting opportunities for employment and education. By refurbishing and donating decommissioned electronics, ERA extends the life of technology while directing it to where it is needed most.
This donation helps to:
- Improve access to essential digital tools
- Support community-based services in Edmonton
- Reduce electronic waste through responsible reuse
For CIOs and IT leaders, ERA’s model highlights how end-of-life IT assets can support ESG goals while maintaining data security and compliance.
Sustainability, Security, and Social Impact
All devices donated by ERA are professionally refurbished and securely data-wiped following strict industry standards. By prioritizing reuse before recycling, ERA helps organizations protect sensitive data, reduce landfill waste, and create positive social impact across Canada.
ERA’s Ongoing Commitment
The Electronic Recycling Association regularly donates refurbished technology to charities, non-profits, schools, and community organizations nationwide. Businesses seeking a secure, compliant, and socially responsible electronics recycling partner are encouraged to connect with ERA to learn more. Call 1-877-939-2783 or visit www.era.ca
