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.
ERA believes that reuse before recycling is critical in managing the waste created by computer hardware, and by offering industry-leading data destruction for all equipment received, hundreds of tons of equipment has been securely repurposed. Because not everything ERA receives can be reasonably repurposed, they have partnered with certified recycling organizations to process equipment that has reached the end of its productive life.
Doing our part to reduce our environmental impact and encourage goodwill among our communities is of the upmost importance to ERA. When you recycle your electronics, you’re making a difference in your neighbourhood and in the world at large.
