Electronic Recycling in Winnipeg

The ERA has been at the forefront of ethical e-waste recycling for over 15 years. With our experience and insights, we’ve created a simple and effective program that not only protects our environment but gives back to those in need.

Whether you’re looking to upgrade your TV, phone, laptop, or printer, we offer a better way to dispose of your old devices. Our team will collect your items, wipe your personal data, and refurbish your electronics so that they can be donated to local charities and organizations.

We’re passionate about helping our communities grow and reach more people in need. With your donated items, we’re able to help local charities provide much-needed services and resources to individuals in Winnipeg and across Canada.

The ERA is proud to offer a selection of convenient electronic recycling services in Winnipeg, including:

• Laptop Recycling
• Computer Recycling
• E-Waste Recycling
• TV Recycling
• Electronic Donation
• Recycling Depots

We offer pick-up, drop-off, and on-site data destruction services for your convenience. Our electronics recycling team will help you unload your unwanted electronics so they can be repurposed for local communities in need.

If you have questions about our e-waste recycling program, don’t hesitate to contact our team.

When it comes to your unwanted or unused electronics, our recycling services offer a wide range of benefits, including:

Improved Environmental Impacts
Electronics are known to end up in our landfills, often leaking toxins into our soil, water, and air supplies. With e-waste recycling, we help eliminate these issues and keep our earth cleaner and free of pollution.

Charitable Efforts
With our ethical electronics recycling programs, we repurpose your electronics into new resources for charities, organizations, and educational program leaders across Canada.

At the ERA, we offer several complimentary drop-off options at our various recycling depot locations. We do apply costs to the following items: microwaves, TVs, floor model copiers/printers, and other e-waste services, including data destruction.

Any pickup charges applied are based on location, the number of items, and service requirements. The good news is, the ERA is known to waive costs during our yearly promotions or for members and high-valued donations.

The ERA offers quality data destruction for a wide range of media such as hard drives, tapes, floppy discs, CDs etc., using Blancco’s trusted software. Secure data wiping is inclusive and free of charge — however, our destruction services can range anywhere from $0.00 – $5.00 per item, depending on the donated equipment, media and membership status.

Certification is provided usually within 10 business days after the service has been completed and serial numbers may be provided upon request.

Our primary focus is to have all equipment repurposed and donated. There are unique circumstances where we offer equipment at a low cost — not only to avoid recycling working devices but also to offer a chance for individuals to receive a computer without paying full price, since many communities cannot afford brand-new electronics.

Our donation process is designed for non-profit organizations, charities, and educational-type facilities. All funds are used to benefit the organization and allow the ERA to operate and provide low-cost or free services throughout Winnipeg and across Canada.

The ERA is proud to offer electronics recycling solutions in Winnipeg with a range of convenient drop-off depots located around the province. We help individuals and organizations.

Yes. ERA runs a Winnipeg location at #403, 1200 Sherwin Road, serving households, businesses, schools, and charities across the city and surrounding Manitoba communities. The team accepts desktops, laptops, monitors, printers, servers, phone systems, and most related IT equipment. Devices that still work are wiped and refurbished for donation instead of being broken down for scrap.

The Winnipeg depot is at #403, 1200 Sherwin Road, Winnipeg, MB, R3H 0K4, in the St. James industrial area. Calling 204-515-3226 or 1-877-9EWASTE (392783) ahead of a large drop off helps the team have space and hands ready when you arrive. Smaller household drop offs can generally be handled during regular business hours.

Most drop offs in Winnipeg are free of charge. ERA applies a fee to a limited set of items such as microwaves, televisions, and floor model copiers and printers, and destruction services are priced separately from recycling. Pickup pricing depends on location, item count, and the level of service required. Fees are frequently waived during promotions and for members or high value donations.

Yes. ERA takes televisions in Winnipeg, and TVs are among the items that carry a handling fee because screens need specialized processing. Working displays are often refurbished and donated to charities, classrooms, and community organizations that cannot stretch a budget to new monitors. Contact the Winnipeg team at 204-515-3226 to confirm the current fee before dropping a set off.

Yes. ERA sends trucks across Winnipeg to collect electronics from offices, warehouses, schools, and residential addresses. Pickups make the most sense when you have more equipment than fits in a car, such as after an office move or a company wide hardware refresh. Book online through the pick up form or call 204-515-3226 to arrange a collection date.

Refurbished equipment from ERA goes to charities, shelters, Indigenous community programs, newcomer services, schools, and seniors’ facilities. Winnipeg organizations that would otherwise go without working computers can request donated equipment through the ERA application process. Recycling locally means the value in your old hardware stays in the community rather than disappearing into a shredder.

Keeping electronics out of Manitoba landfills prevents lead, mercury, and other substances from leaching into soil and groundwater. Reuse also avoids the mining and manufacturing footprint of building a replacement device, which is usually the largest environmental cost in a computer’s life. ERA prioritizes reuse first and sends only genuinely end of life equipment to certified recycling partners.

Yes. Hard drives, tapes, discs, and other media are wiped using Blancco software, and secure data wiping comes at no charge with your donation. Physical destruction is available for media that cannot be wiped or where policy demands it, ranging from $0.00 to $5.00 per item depending on the equipment and membership status. Certification typically follows within 10 business days, with serial numbers available on request.

Yes. ERA works with Winnipeg employers on office decommissions, warehouse cleanouts, and scheduled refresh cycles involving dozens or hundreds of devices. The team can provide truck pickups, on site destruction with AmeriShred mobile shredders, and the documentation compliance teams need for their records. Ongoing collection receptacles are also available for organizations retiring equipment continuously.

Book a pickup online or bring your equipment to #403, 1200 Sherwin Road. For questions about fees, data destruction, or large volumes, call the Winnipeg office at 204-515-3226 or the toll free line at 1-877-9EWASTE (392783). Local charities and non-profits can apply separately to receive refurbished devices through ERA’s donation program.
