Grandin Catholic Elementary School Receives 5 Free Laptops

By electronic recycling association August 5, 2021

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) was pleased to donate 5 laptops to the Grandin Catholic Elementary School to be given to students in need. With the ever-changing Covid restrictions, students need to be prepared for at-home learning as some parents cannot afford to go out and buy a brand new computer. The ERA is happy we can assist during these challenging times.

Grandin Catholic Elementary School is an outstanding community that works together to encourage excellence and the study of languages. Their professional staff is highly committed to strong academics and a Catholic philosophy of education. They have an outstanding reputation in the community.

Through teacher dedication, parent commitment and an outstanding French and Spanish learning environment, they provide our students with the skills necessary to experience success. They encourage parents to be involved in their child’s education.

Within their Christ-centered school community, students, staff and parents:

  • are motivated to acquire current attitudes, skills and knowledge to see beyond self-interests in order to achieve the school community’s success;
  • encourage a safe, supportive school community where we are respectful of ourselves, of others and of the environment;
  • foster independence, self-efficacy, perseverance, resilience through learning opportunities that nurture the child’s dignity;
  • value continuous language and cultural development through connection with the local and global community.

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.

Your pre-loved computers could make a huge difference in the life of a child. Contact us 1877-9EWASTE to see if you are eligible for a free pickup!
