ERA x Abbotsford Police Data Destruction Event

By electronic recycling association February 13, 2023

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) was delighted to partner with the Abbotsford Police Department and Highstreet Mall for a data destruction and electronics recycling event.

On February 9th, 2023 members of the Abbotsford, BC community used the convenient drive-thru component of event at Highstreet Mall to drop off unwanted electronic device.  Items such as hard drives, computers, laptops, phones, tablets, tapes and other small devices storing sensitive data. 

After the event ERA’s technicians ensured that data from the devices is securely removed, operational equipment is refurbished for reuse, and the rest is recycled in a responsible manner.

If you need help organizing a collection event contact the ERA. We will provide necessary resources (staff to assist with collection if necessary and confirmed in advance, collection bins, removal of equipment) as well as assist in handling the creation of marketing materials for your event (posters/flyers for you to distribute). All you’ll need to do is share event details with all of your contacts to ensure your collection is well attended.
