Are obsolete laptops and computers worthless?
Ask yourself this question, “Are obsolete cars worthless?” and the answer will be no as obsolete means old or outdated, not unusable. ERA believes in the “Car Theory”; when the lease on your car is up and you trade it in for the new, classier model, the dealership does not process it as a recycling facility would to make a brand new “model”. The dealership re-leases or sells that car, it’s only a few years old after all. A notable portion of the population will never even own a new car, second-hand options are way more affordable and can have a pretty long lifespan if properly maintained, just as computers and other related equipment would. These out of date devices may seem old to you but may seem new to individuals who can’t afford the next new upgrade.
The Electronic Recycling Association – a non-profit organization founded in 2004 to address the growing problem of e-waste and the increasing ‘digital divide’ – will ensure your unwanted or used electronics is data wiped or destroyed and donated to a deserving and appreciative recipient.
We are seeking the help of the public. Due to the economic downturn, we have found it extremely difficult to obtain enough donations from individuals to fulfill every charitable organizations wish.
ERA will pick up your obsolete devices for free in order to fulfill all of our requested donations. We supply data security services for individuals and companies across Canada ensuring that your data is taken care of and securely erased.
