ERA Donates 5 Laptops to the Ogden House Senior Citizen Club

By electronic recycling association August 2, 2021

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is thankful for the support of our generous donors that allow us to continue providing computers to charitable organizations and individuals in need.  Schlumberger helped us provide 5 laptops to the Ogden House Senior Citizen Club in Calgary which will be used to assist seniors at the centre with classes they provide and also for staff use.

The energy industry is changing, and Schlumberger’s vision is to define and drive high-performance sustainability. As a leading energy service company, responsible environmental and social stewardship is an integral part of the way they operate. The ERA is proud to partner with Schlumberger and looks forward to more donation events together in the future.

Established in 1974 the Ogden House Senior Citizens Club (OHSCC) is a non-profit organization that provides socially active services to seniors in the Calgary Area.

OHSCC offers a number of services, programs, and activities to over 300+ members.  Some of their activities include Quilting, Games Night, Crafts, Pool, Carpet Bowling, Oil Painting, Fit to Age, Move & Mingle, Potluck Lunch, Movie Night & Spanish Classes.

Throughout the year OHSCC provides special programs to help seniors to stay safe at their homes such as their MOW & SNOW PROGRAM which is an affordable snow and yard maintenance program offered to qualifying seniors.

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. Contact us to book a pickup.
