Friends of the Aviary in Hamilton Receives 2 Laptops

By electronic recycling association August 17, 2021

The Friends of the Aviary reached out to the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) when they were in need of IT equipment for their organization. ERA previously provided them with a projector and was happy to assist with an additional 2 laptops which will help for their numerous outings and also to record and centralize their resources and data on-the-go. They give parrots a lifelong home, bring their joy to the greater Hamilton community, and work to educate and promote their visitors on conservation and environmental consciousness, both local and global.

The Friends of the Aviary is a non-profit organization run 100% by volunteers. Together, along with the support of donations from the community, they strive to ensure that their flock receives the love and care it needs to thrive! The Hamilton Aviary provides a sanctuary for exotic birds in need of a home and/or healing due to no fault of their own.

Their volunteers are the heart of the flock! If you have an interest in volunteering with their avian friends, sign up and start your new friendship today by clicking here.

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.

Consider donating your unwanted computers, laptops, phones and tablets to the ERA. We will work to refurbish these items so that we can donated them back into the community to charitable organizations in need.
