Empowering Communities Through Reused Technology
At the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA), we believe that extending the life of technology can create meaningful, lasting change for communities across Canada.
ERA is proud to announce a recent donation of one standard desktop computer, two standard laptops, and one monitor to Afro Canadian Development Inc. (ACD) – a charitable organization dedicated to supporting newcomers, refugees, and underserved communities through education, employment, and community-focused programs.
Supporting Newcomers and Underserved Communities with Technology
Afro Canadian Development Inc. delivers a wide range of essential services, including:
- Settlement and integration support
- Employment and skills-building programs
- Community outreach initiatives
- Youth STEM and educational programming
- Access to essential social and support services
Access to reliable technology plays a critical role in delivering these programs effectively. With the donated laptops, desktop computer, and monitor, ACD can better manage daily operations, support clients accessing digital services, and strengthen internal workflows—allowing their team to focus on what matters most: serving their community.
The Power of Reuse: Technology with Purpose
This donation highlights the power of electronics reuse. By refurbishing and redistributing donated IT equipment, ERA helps reduce electronic waste while ensuring valuable technology continues to serve a meaningful purpose.
Each device donated through ERA is professionally processed with secure data wiping, testing, and refurbishment before being placed with a charity or nonprofit organization in need. This approach supports both environmental sustainability and digital inclusion, ensuring organizations receive technology that is safe, reliable, and ready to use.
Thank You to Our Donors
This impact would not be possible without the generosity of ERA’s donors. Thank you to the individuals and organizations who choose to donate their unused, unwanted, or pre-loved electronics.

We accept a wide range of electronics, including laptops, desktop computers, monitors, and other IT equipment.
