We safely and securely dispose of your old electronics in Saskatoon
If you’re interested in disposing of old electronics safely, you’re the ideal client for the Electronic Recycling Association. Our mission is to collect unwanted or malfunctioning computers and electronic devices from people and businesses like you. We follow strict data destruction procedures to ensure that all data is completely removed from each device, and then we refurbish salvageable units. This allows us to donate the refurbished items to Canadian charities, so you’re giving back to your community when you commit to Saskatoon electronic recycling.
We are an ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 Certified Company that offers pickup services, comprehensive data security measures and subsequent reporting. Individuals and organizations alike move through technology hardware for a number of different reasons, and often there is ongoing productive use.
Why We Do It
Reuse before recycling is critical in managing the waste created by computer hardware. ERA offers 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.
Our Refurbishment Process
Addressing data security represents a core element of the ERA’s value proposition and service offering. We possess robust data wiping and physical destruction capabilities, and have employed these capabilities in partnership with Canadian Law Enforcement agencies as part of our efforts to raise awareness of the dangers associated with inadequate diligence around personal computing devices. Studies have shown that fear of data being recovered from old equipment is one of the biggest obstacles of reuse. When you utilize the ERA’s data destruction services, you can be assured that your data will be secure from retrieval.
- Data Wiping: To safeguard our donor’s data, the ERA uses Blancco’s data erasure software on each and every computer we receive. Blancco is the proven data erasure solution for millions of users around the world. As the pioneer and global leader in data sanitation and end-of-life cycle solutions, the company offers the most certified data erasure software within the industry.
- Data Shredding: The ERA has several AmeriShred mobile hard drive shredders which can be delivered directly to your location for hard drive destruction services. These machines are capable of shredding hard drives, data tapes, and other data storage hardware. You may choose to have us pick up your equipment for shredding or have one of our shredders brought to your facility.
