The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is pleased to highlight its partnership with General Crerar Public School in Scarborough, Ontario, for a two-week community e-waste collection initiative dedicated to promoting responsible electronic recycling and environmental awareness.
From December 1 to December 12, 2025, students, families, and staff are encouraged to bring unwanted or obsolete electronics to the school for secure recycling. This initiative not only helps reduce e-waste within the community but also supports ERA’s mission of extending the life cycle of technology through refurbishment, donation, and sustainable processing.
Event Details
- Collection Dates: December 1-12, 2025
- Location: General Crerar Public School, 30 McGregor Rd, Scarborough, ON M1P 1C8
Empowering Students and Supporting Sustainability
Throughout the two-week collection period, students and families are encouraged to reflect on the environmental impact of discarded electronics and adopt more sustainable habits around technology use and disposal. By participating in this initiative, the community helps to:
- Reduce the amount of e-waste sent to landfills
- Support secure and certified data destruction practices
- Promote device reuse through ERA’s national donation programs
- Inspire eco-conscious thinking among students and young learners
To support the initiative, ERA has provided collection signage and resources to help streamline participation and raise awareness throughout the school.
All collected electronics will be securely transported to ERA’s certified processing facility, where each item undergoes a rigorous evaluation and handling process. This ensures maximum reuse, minimal waste, and full compliance with environmental and data security requirements.
Building Community Through Sustainable Action
ERA is proud to support General Crerar Public School in promoting environmental responsibility and sustainable habits within the community. This initiative provides a responsible way to dispose of unwanted electronics while strengthening the connection between sustainability and education.
ERA extends its appreciation to the school’s staff, students, and families for their commitment to a greener future.
