The Electronic Recycling Association was pleased to donate 2 computers to AgeCare Valleyview in Medicine Hat, Alberta. They are not a nursing home where people wait out the remainder of their lives. Rather, as a community, their residents actively age in place. What this means is that as each individual resident’s needs change, their facility is able to provide Retirement Living options.
Since our inception in 1998, AgeCare has been dedicated to creating vibrant communities that celebrate and support aging with dignity, independence and community interaction. They offer their residents a safe and secure home-like atmosphere where they and their families can be assured peace of mind.
Their communities are special places that include warm and welcoming facilities, professional and specialized care, friendly and courteous staff, and truly enjoyable dining experiences. Their goal is always to foster a community atmosphere where individuals are recognized, valued and celebrated for themselves. For more information visit their website 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.
Viewing regular access to a personal computer as a non-essential luxury is a thing of the past. Even basic activities now require the use of a computer; applying for a job, completing school work, staying in touch with family or even something as simple as looking up a bus route is difficult without a computer. The Electronic Recycling Association has developed a charitable computer donation program to address exactly that problem. If you have a computer, laptops, cellphone, tablet, etc. that you no longer use and are looking for a responsible and productive way to dispose of your devices, please consider giving them to the ERA. We will work to refurbish your device to donate to a charitable organization or individual in need within the community. Book your pickup today!
