Supporting History Through Electronic Recycling

By electronic recycling association June 30, 2025

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to announce its recent donation of two desktop computers and a laptop to the Alberta Railway Museum in Edmonton, Alberta. This initiative is part of ERA’s ongoing mission to reduce e-waste, promote technology reuse, and support Canadian non-profits with essential tech tools.

Helping Preserve Alberta’s Rail Heritage

The Alberta Railway Museum is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich railway history of Western Canada. The museum relies on passionate volunteers to maintain its collection of historic locomotives, rolling stock, and railway artifacts. By providing these refurbished computers, ERA is helping the museum enhance operations in critical areas, including:

  • Volunteer Centre – Improving coordination, training, and communication for the dedicated volunteer team.
  • Main Hangar – Supporting visitor management and exhibit information.
  • Reception Desk – Streamlining ticketing and visitor services.
  • Archives – Enabling better cataloging, research, and preservation of historical records.

Bridging the Digital Divide While Reducing E-Waste

ERA’s donation ensures that retired computers find new life supporting a cultural institution rather than ending up in landfills. By refurbishing and redistributing technology, ERA helps organizations reduce costs while promoting sustainability.

“We’re thrilled to support the Alberta Railway Museum’s mission,” said Bojan Paduh, President of the ERA. “These computers will help the museum continue sharing Alberta’s railway history with future generations, while advancing our commitment to responsible e-waste management.”

Partner with ERA to Support Canadian Non-Profits

The Electronic Recycling Association partners with businesses and individuals across Canada to collect unwanted electronics. After secure data wiping and refurbishment, these devices are donated to charities, non-profits, and community groups in need.
