By electronic recycling association April 14, 2025

Would you like to learn more about computers while making a meaningful impact in your community? The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is looking for volunteers in the Vancouver area (Richmond) to help refurbish electronics and reduce e-waste – all while gaining valuable hands-on experience and earning a refurbished computer!

Our volunteer program is ideal for anyone looking to build foundational tech knowledge, complete community service hours, or simply give back to a good cause. No previous experience is necessary – just bring a positive attitude and a pair of steel-toed boots!

Volunteer Tasks May Include:

  • Sorting various types of cables and adapters
  • Testing and cleaning monitors
  • Removing stickers and labels from equipment
  • Organizing laptop bags and RAM
  • Disassembling non-working devices to recover reusable parts
  • Helping with unloading equipment and tidying work areas
  • General cleaning of electronics and workspace

ERA’s hours of operation are Monday – Friday 9am to 5pm. This position is available any time within these hours, with a minimum 4-hour time commitment. To earn a laptop or desktop computer, 24 hours of volunteer work must be completed. Upon completion of 24 hours, volunteers will receive a certificate of appreciation and a refurbished computer.
