Electronic Recycling Association and Chinook Centre partner to offer the public secure and responsible disposal of unwanted electronic equipment and complimentary hard drive shredding.
Calgary, Canada, August 28, 2015 --(PR.com)-- The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) has partnered with Chinook Centre to host an electronics collection and data destruction event for mall patrons and the general public. Individuals are invited to bring in unwanted electronic equipment to be processed. If requested, hard drives will be shredded onsite. This event is the second in a series of three events between ERA and Chinook Centre aimed at raising awareness and increasing uptake of electronic recycling programs.
Chinook Centre will also be awarding two grand prizes to individuals who have donated unwanted equipment to the Electronic Recycling Drive. Entrants will have the opportunity to win gift cards for use towards equipment upgrades at Apple or Microsoft in Chinook Centre.
