The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) was pleased to donate 6 desktop computers and a projector to the Newmarket Co-operative Homes Inc in Ontario. This donation will be going to seniors and Rent-Geared-to-Income (RGI) families within the co-operative to help individuals with depression, isolation, and anxiety.
Newmarket Co-operative Homes Inc is a non-profit in Newmarket, ON that provides access to housing for the benefit of its regular members who actively participate in the savings program for housing. Housing co-op members have greater control over their living environment. This form of housing also fosters a strong sense of pride and community. Higher member satisfaction also means members tend to stay long-term, which leads to reduced operating expenses and a more stable community.

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 eighteen 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.
