Technology Donation in Calgary: ERA Supports McMan Calgary with Refurbished Computers

By electronic recycling association July 2, 2026

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to support community organizations through its ongoing technology donation program. In a recent initiative, ERA provided refurbished computers to McMan Calgary, helping strengthen access to essential technology for individuals and families in need.

Supporting Communities Through Technology Donations

Access to reliable technology plays a vital role in education, employment, and daily communication. However, many individuals and families continue to face barriers when it comes to accessing computers and digital resources.

Through this donation, ERA continues its mission to bridge the digital divide by delivering functional, refurbished equipment to organizations that directly serve their communities.

McMan Calgary offers a wide range of programs focused on family support, youth services, and overall community well-being. By providing computers, ERA helps strengthen their capacity to deliver services more efficiently and stay connected with those they support.

The Impact of Refurbished Computers

All donated equipment goes through ERA’s reuse-first process, ensuring both quality and security. This includes:

• Secure data wiping
• Comprehensive testing and refurbishment
• Quality control for performance and reliability

As a result, each computer is ready for immediate use. This allows organizations like McMan Calgary to integrate the equipment into their operations without delays or additional setup.

Electronic waste continues to grow globally, creating significant environmental challenges. By refurbishing and reusing equipment, ERA helps:

• Extend the life cycle of electronics
• Reduce landfill waste
• Minimize the environmental impact of discarded devices

This approach supports a circular economy, where technology is reused whenever possible before recycling becomes necessary.

Building Strong Community Partnerships

ERA values partnerships with organizations like McMan Calgary, whose work creates meaningful impact at the local level. By working together, both organizations contribute to stronger, more connected communities.

Furthermore, these collaborations demonstrate how shared goals can lead to long-term, positive change.
