The Electronic Recycling Association is proud to announce the donation of 3 laptops to The Salvation Army Guelph Citadel. The laptops are required for client use including job searches and client intake.

The Salvation Army has long maintained the role of working with the most vulnerable in the community.  Their services include support in the areas of food, clothing, furniture, rent & energy assistance, recovery support (grief, mental illness, cancer support), counselling, children’s & youth programs, summer camps, adult & seniors groups, pastoral support, emergency disaster support, and more. Their Community and Family Services supports the ability of people to empower themselves at all stages of life to break the cycle of poverty and reduce isolation. Visit their website to learn more.

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.

If you would like to partner with ERA, we would be thrilled to include your organization in our donation activities. Our staff will provide all the services you require to help you with your IT asset disposal process from pickup to inventory reporting and data destruction. We will refurbish the computers you contribute to donate to charities, non-profits, schools and care facilities all across Canada that have requested electronics through our online application. Our marketing team will work with your organization to highlight an event where we will donate the devices together and invite media to attend. Contribute to your corporate social responsibility profile by partnering with ERA today!
