Electronics Recycling Association seeks business partners

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA), a Vancouver, British Columbia-based nonprofit focused on recycling and refurbishing electronics, has announced it is seeking business partners in Montreal to donate their old electronics to supply to charitable organizations.

The organization recently opened a location in Montreal. In light of ERA’s grand opening in this province, the organization says it is reaching out to businesses interested in donating their unwanted e-waste. ERA says it currently has a limited amount of electronics available for donation to charities in Quebec and would like to increase its capabilities.

ERA also has locations in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Toronto.

“We have noticed a rapid growth in the number of donation requests from charitable organizations over the years,” says Bojan Paduh, founder and president of the ERA. “Technological devices have become a need nowadays more than a want. We need the internet in order to apply for jobs, keep in contact with family and friends, and to run our day-to-day businesses.”

ERA adds, “No longer will old computers be trashed, shredded and melted before being given a chance for a second life. ERA will work with individuals and corporations to reuse and refurbish computers, laptops and electronics, and donate them into the local communities in Montreal, Quebec City and all over the province of Quebec.”

Established in 2004, ERA accepts donations of unwanted computer hardware and other e-scrap from companies and individuals.
