On March 1st, 2023 the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) and community partners Alberta Blue Cross, Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, Edmonton Neighbourhood Watch, Electronic Recycling Association, Edmonton Police Service, RCMP, Real Estate Council of Alberta, and Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction kicked off Fraud Prevention Month at Edmonton City Hall.
Mayor Amarjeet Sohi was present to declare March to be “Fraud Prevention Month” and the High Level Bridge is being lit up in the blue and white National Fraud Prevention Month colours to mark the occasion.
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 eighteen 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.
