The Electronic Recycling Association in collaboration with TJ Micro Ltd. is pleased to donate a laptop to the Littlefoot Community Projects. They are a small not-for-profit organization with a goal to create food security among residents in their community. The laptop will be used to look for and apply to grants, track their financials and project outcomes, keep connected on social media with their program users, and make working more efficient and productive.

At the Electronic Recycling Association, we believe in giving back to our community. We’re thankful for everything that has been shared with us through the years, and we want to spread the joy to others. Our way of doing this is through an efficient electronic recycling program. When you allow us to discard your unwanted electronics, we will salvage and donate as many items as possible. Imagine your old iPods, cellphones and video games in the hands of someone in need. It can happen when you donate through the ERA!
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.
