ERA Partners with Surrey School District For Tech Drive

By electronic recycling association May 6, 2022

The Surrey Schools, in partnership with the Electronic Recycling Association, is collecting and refurbishing used electronics to distribute to at risk students in specialties programs within Surrey School District.  Collections take place from May 9 to May 12. 

After the Tech Drive is over the ERA technicians will ensure that data from your devices is securely removed, operational equipment is refurbished for reuse, and the rest is recycled in a responsible manner.  This tech drive will not only educate students on the importance of sustainability but it will make a difference in someone’s life.
