The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) recently donated 10 laptops to Katumu Action For Community Development INC in order for them to continue providing capacity-building initiatives to support the women, seniors, youth, and the most vulnerable. They do this through computer literacy training and seniors awareness information sharing workshops.
They also assist the most vulnerable by providing them with non-food items such as face mask, winter socks, gloves, and back to school programs for black and visible minority communities in Kitchener, Ontario.

The Electronic Recycling Association is committed to making electronic recycling beneficial for everyone including the environment! If you have any leftover electronic devices that you no longer need, or are not working as it should be, then we will take them off your hands, refurbish them, before giving them to charities across Canada.
We strive to meet reasonable requests for IT and related equipment, such as computers, laptops, projection equipment, printers, phones and related peripherals. Our goal is to fulfill every single reasonable request for a computer donation that we receive, and we are thrilled to announce that we are getting close to achieving this goal. Since 2004, we have donated thousands of computers to Canadians in need and this number grows daily.
