The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is excited to help a new Calgary non-profit called Reaching the Unreachable Ltd. They are a home-based organization looking to empower the underprivileged, particularly the youth of the community. ERA donated 8 laptops and 5 desktop computers to be used by their staff.
The ERA works with charities across the country to provide refurbished electronics for their programs. This gives them access to reliable technology while allowing them to apply their resources to what they’re good at: developing programs to help Canadians struggling with poverty, health concerns or are otherwise experiencing misfortune.
We receive requests for charities, non-profits, schools and care facilities all across Canada. Organizations both large and small reach out to ERA for computers and other IT related items. Our goal is to fulfill every single reasonable request for a computer donation that we receive. Since 2004, we have donated thousands of computers to Canadians in need and this number grows daily.
The ERA (Electronic Recycling Association), is focused on reducing unnecessary waste and/or environmental impact through effective management of retiring electronic and IT equipment. As a non-profit organization with deep community roots, it is our “reuse” focus and donation activities that set us apart from others in this sector. We are an ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 Certified Company that offers pickup services, comprehensive data security measures and subsequent reporting. Individuals and organizations alike move through technology hardware for a number of different reasons, and often there is ongoing productive use.
The ERA believes that “reuse” where ever possible is the most ecological approach to this growing stream, and an excellent way to compel real community goodwill at the same time. The Electronic Recycling Association has a clear mission of reducing electronic waste through computer recycling, laptop recycling and computer donation services. With depots throughout Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and all of Canada. ERA provides a great way to recycle electronic equipment safely and securely.
Companies love our full-service approach in helping them with their IT asset disposal process. From our fast and efficient pickup service to providing free data-wiping, certification, and inventory reporting including serial numbers, asset tags, make, and models. We also offer hard drive shredding for a nominal fee. Plus, the best part is that ERA gives this equipment to charities and individuals in need!
Join our mission and contribute the electronics you no longer use or want to ERA. We will work to refurbish what we can and your gift will be passed along to help others who can’t afford to purchase new equipment. Call us at 1877-9EWASTE if you would like to help!
