ERA Donates Electronics to GEARS

By electronic recycling association August 26, 2022

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) was happy to donate 2 computers and a printer to the Greater Edmonton Area Animal Rescue Society (GEARS).  This donation will be very useful in helping GEARS with their day-to day office administrative tasks.

The Greater Edmonton Animal Rescue Society (GEARS) was formed in 2013 to help injured, abandoned, unwanted, and homeless animals. GEARS is a non-profit organization that relies on a network of donors, volunteers and foster homes working together to give companion animals a second chance at their forever family. With high standards of practice and charitable status, GEARS sets an example in our community. Compassion motivates us to help, heal, and alleviate the pain of the animals we encounter.

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.

Do you have an old laptop that you don’t use anymore? A Samsung phone that doesn’t work? A stack of old electronic devices that are of no use? If so, the Electronic Recycling Association can help you, local communities, and the environment all at one time. Our goal is to collect unwanted or malfunctioning electronic devices from people and businesses, refurbish them, and donate them to charities and programs. Your donation can make all the difference, so start electronic recycling with us today.
