BurlingtonGreen Environmental Association Receives 2 Laptops

By electronic recycling association November 26, 2021

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) was pleased to provide 2 laptops to BurlingtonGreen which will support operations and staff needs.

“Thank you for this service. Our staff rely on laptops for their work and we appreciate the opportunity to use refurbished laptops rather than have them go to waste.”

BurlingtonGreen also took advantage of ERA’s Moolah for Macros Fundraising Program. They collected almost 4000 lbs of e-waste in their community and earned themselves $500 for their efforts!

Established in 2007, they are a community-driven, non-partisan, registered charity. Through awareness, advocacy and action initiatives, they work with all sectors to protect the environment, mitigate climate change and to create a healthier, more environmentally responsible Burlington.

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.
