### THE ERA STORY: COMPUTER ELECTRONICS RECYCLING AND REUSE IN CANADA

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is a Non-Profit Organization that has been reducing unnecessary electronic waste since 2004. We reduce adverse environmental contribution through recycling, repurposing and through the donation of electronics and other IT Equipment. With a number of drop off locations around Canada based primarily out of Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Saskatoon, Toronto and Winnipeg, and an electronic pickup service, the ERA provides a meaningful way for organizations and individuals to deal with their old computer equipment in a safe and secure manner that matches or exceeds government standards.

  Major Canadian Telecommunications Organization

- It is our experience that they deliver what they promise and to the highest standard…Their customer service is impeccable and as an organization that values Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility, I couldn’t think of a better partner than ERA.

  Major Canadian Automobile Association

- “Our (computer donation) requests are for families of members who cannot afford to purchase home computers. They are low income families whose child/children attend our programs. They currently access the computers we have at the program, but they are limited to our program hours. If they had laptops, they would be able to do their homework at home, which would enable them to complete their assignments and enroll in more classes.”

  Boys and Girls Club of Saskatoon Director

- “Being a financial institution, security is a major concern, and we always receive a certificate of destruction to confirm that any hard drives have been properly disposed of by being shredded. This does help to provide peace of mind that none of the information on the drives can fall into the hands of someone that may use it for criminal purposes”

  Major Canadian Financial Institution

- “I have been dealing with the ERA for almost as long as I have been working in the Desktop and Workspace Department. Over the last 5 years I have had an excellent relationship with this company. Their service keeps continuing to improve and supply the kind of support I require to keep things moving.”
