ERA Empowering Art and Community
At the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA), we are always on the lookout for opportunities to support and uplift communities through our donations. We are thrilled to announce our recent donation of three desktop computers and two laptops to the Vancouver Mural Festival (VMF).
The Vancouver Mural Festival, a beloved event in the city, celebrates art, culture, and community. This annual festival transforms public spaces with stunning murals, bringing vibrancy and creativity to the urban landscape. However, like many organizations, VMF relies heavily on technology to manage their operations, coordinate events, and communicate with artists and volunteers.
Our donation aims to equip the VMF staff with the necessary tools to enhance their efficiency and productivity. These devices will provide the staff with reliable technology, ensuring they no longer need to rely solely on their personal computers. This support will enable them to focus more on what they do best—bringing art to life in the streets of Vancouver.
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.
Repurpose your unwanted equipment and support your local community with an electronic donation. With your donation, local community charities are given equal opportunities to support their programs and Canadians in need. Together, we can work towards a future with less e-waste.
