These days as society is accustomed to the newest and latest gadgets, people often tent to forget about the poor and disadvantaged communities that don't have these gadgets, and can only dream about even having that old computer some are planning to toss into the garbage.
This is about to end, thanks to the Electronic Recycling Associations. The ERA is a non profit organization, which collects old computers, monitors, laptops, servers, and all kinds of high tech gadgetry to help other charities, non profit groups, and similar organizations, who can not otherwise afford this equipment.
The ERA is partnering with many charities and non profit groups, to collect old computers, laptops, servers and networking equipment for further use. Corporations and government departments across Canada are often upgrading their equipment, and seldom think that their old equipment has any value.
ERA is able to provide these corporations and government departments an excellent, socially beneficial and environmentally friendly service. The ERA will collect old computer and server equipment, refurbish it, make sure all data is removed, and provide it to organizations and individuals in need.
ERA has an outstanding request list with over 100 charities and non profit groups waiting for computer and networking equipment. Many charities are applying daily for equipment, and the ERA welcomes more charities to request computers and electronic equipment for their needs.

This idea solves two problems at onece. Not only does it help the poor and disadvantaged people of the third world countryes but also helps recycling electronics that otherwise would become useless junk. I believe that computer recycling is the best way to help both the poor people and the environment due to the short life of computers. Technology evolves so fast and good computers often tend to get thrown away only cause they seem out of date.
