ERA And Hi Tech Recyclers Proud Partners For Over Five Years

The Electronic Recycling Association proud to partner with local recyclers to properly dispose of non-reusable e-waste.

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) has been working to reduce unnecessary electronic waste since 2004 throughout Canada. Many of us are unaware of the toxic chemicals that derive from electronic devices. Take a cell phone as an example, it has over 500 components and many contain toxic metals such as mercury, lead, beryllium, and cadmium. ERA work with Alberta Recycling (ARMA) certified recycler, Hi Tech Recyclers creating a more sustainable environment. Both parties have one goal and that goal is to ensure that electronic waste is properly taken care of through processes put in place by them directly.

“Working with a recycling company that truly cares about our environment is not only great but it is also satisfying to see that people still care,” said Bojan Paduh, Founder of the Electronic Recycling Association. “We are looking forward to working with Hi Tech Recyclers for the foreseen future, building a strong relationship and a better environment. Our aim throughout the next 5 years is to increase the quantity of e-waste we currently divert from landfills, not only in Alberta but Canada wide.”

Over the past five years, the ERA has worked with Hi Tech Recyclers to dispose of 700 tons of e-waste from Alberta alone. The e-waste that was safely recycled within the province comprised of unusable TV’s, printers and electronics that could not be reused.

“Hi Tech Recyclers has worked with ERA for 5 years now and recycled 700 tons of electronic scrap. It’s been very rewarding working with them knowing they are reconditioning computers and donating to worthy causes! We look forward to working with them for many years to come!” said Bob Malin, President of Hi Tech Recyclers
