Computer and electronic recycling program offered by Electronic Recycling Association and Interspots Inc produces excellent results in preventing this type of waste from reaching the landfills.

The E.R.A. and Interspots Inc successfully prevent hundreds of computer and electronic items from being buried forever, and put these items to good use by providing them to different organizations and individuals in need.

Shown above are Michael Verhoeven from the Edmonton based web hosting firm Interspots.com and Bojan Paduh from Calgary based Electronic Recycling Association of Alberta. Together they ran a two month long program from Interspots Edmonton location to collect unwanted computers and electronic equipment from Edmonton based companies and citizens.

Donated equipment included such items as computers, monitors, televisions, vcrs, and other electronic equipment. Most items collected came from residents, but several of Edmonton’s firms were also able to drop off equipment.

All items were taken back to the Calgary based E.R.A and tested by its people. Any usable equipment will be put to good use by programs offered by the Electronic Recycling Association. Such programs include donations to charities and not for profit organizations, 3^rd world countries schools, the elderly, and poor.

All equipment was accepted free of charge. This program proves the need for such depot locations to be established throughout Alberta to help us reduce the amount of electronics related type of waste from contaminating our landfills.

The E.R.A is actively looking for new depot locations to participate in its programs. The benefits of participating are clear from this programs results, a cleaner environment for all and a social benefit, providing the disadvantaged communities with equipment for job training, entertainment for kids and elderly, etc. Alberta based charitable organizations are also invited to contact The E.R.A and request equipment to help their cause.

With the announcement of the provincial program to recycle all electronic equipment, the Electronic Recycling Association makes its services available to organizations and individuals that require an environmental solution to their Ewaste problems. If companies have unwanted computer equipment the E.R.A can arrange a pickup throughout Alberta and is able to accept items at various locations throughout the province.
