On June 8th, 2024, the Halifax Shopping Centre joined hands with the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) to host a community event that focused on environmental stewardship and data security. This collaborative effort not only underscored the importance of recycling electronic devices but also highlighted the critical need to protect personal data in today’s digital age.
The event, held at Halifax Shopping Centre, drew members of the community, all united in their commitment to sustainable living practices. Attendees had the opportunity to learn about the environmental benefits of recycling electronics and the proper methods for disposing of outdated devices responsibly.
For those who were unable to attend, the initiative continues beyond the event date. Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) invites residents to drop off their unwanted electronics at their convenient depot located at 334 Bluewater Road, Bedford, NS. Alternatively, ERA offers a hassle-free option with free pick-up services available upon request.
“This ongoing effort is not just about recycling electronics; it’s about safeguarding our environment and ensuring the protection of personal information,” emphasized Sally Tran of the Electronic Recycling Association. “Every device recycled with us contributes to a cleaner, safer future for our community and beyond.”
