MEMBERSHIP

The ERA membership program is designed to make responsible e-waste disposal easier and more accessible for organizations that retire equipment regularly. Members receive perks such as price reductions and priority pickups, along with benefits that support their corporate social and environmental responsibility profiles. It is a way to streamline recycling while highlighting a commitment to giving back.

Depending on the membership type, members can receive guaranteed priority pickups with no minimum at free or discounted rates, discounted data destruction services, and discounted third party pickups. Members also gain opportunities to partner with ERA on charitable donations and inclusion in the organization’s Tree Canada tree planting program. Promotional offers and other benefits round out the package.

The program is a strong fit for businesses and organizations that manage unwanted electronic equipment on an ongoing basis. Companies going through regular IT refreshes, or those that want to strengthen their sustainability credentials, benefit most from the priority service and reporting perks. Individuals with occasional items can still use ERA’s standard donation and recycling options without a membership.

Becoming an ERA member lets an organization point to a concrete partnership with a non profit focused on reuse, donation, and environmental impact. The charitable donation opportunities and Tree Canada tree planting involvement give companies tangible activities to include in their corporate social and environmental responsibility reporting. It is a way to back up sustainability commitments with measurable action.
