The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is pleased to donate a laptop to Africans & African Descendants in St. Albert. They currently do not have funds to purchase new equipment and were excited to receive this donation to help run their organization and their programs/events.
The Africans & African Descendants Friendship Club of St. Albert was founded by Helen Agbonison for people of African descent living in St. Albert to come together because of the need for a group of this nature in our community. The group’s first event was on August 25, 2019, tagged an evening in the park and since then the group has hosted lots of Cultural and volunteering events in St. Albert.
Join the community, support, and share with one another. Their largest event is the Taste of Africa for Black History Month. They also have a Youth mentorship event “It takes a village to raise a child”, as well as many more events throughout the year. Visit their website here for more information.
The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is a non-profit organization founded in 2004 to address the growing problem of e-waste and the increasing ‘digital divide’. For over fifteen years, ERA has offered simple solutions to help individuals and organizations prevent operational equipment from premature destruction. With a focus on recovery, refurbishment and reuse, ERA continuously supplies charitable groups with donated IT equipment while securely managing the retiring IT assets of organizations and individuals across Canada.
We believe that reuse before recycling is critical in managing the waste created by computer hardware, and by offering industry-leading data destruction for all equipment we receive, we have securely repurposed hundreds of tons of equipment. Because not everything ERA receives can be reasonably repurposed, we have partnered with certified recycling organizations to process equipment that has reached the end of its productive life.
Do you have an old laptop that you don’t use anymore? A Samsung phone that doesn’t work? A stack of old electronic devices that are of no use? If so, the Electronic Recycling Association can help you, local communities, and the environment all at one time. Our goal is to collect unwanted or malfunctioning electronic devices from people and businesses across Canada, refurbish them, and donate them to charities and programs. Your donation can make all the difference, so start electronic recycling with us today!
