GET INVOLVED

There's more than one way to make an impact.

Mail in an old laptop with a free shipping label, donate retired equipment, host a community event, partner with us as a business or school, volunteer with our team, or sponsor a youth workshop. Every path moves technology somewhere it can do more good.

BOOK A PICKUP

Free pickups across Florida.

For businesses, schools and organizations retiring 10+ devices, we'll come to you. Free pickups in major Florida metros and surrounding areas; larger jobs and out-of-state logistics on request.

  • Tampa, Orlando, Miami, Jacksonville and surrounding areas
  • Locked transit and chain-of-custody documentation
  • Same-day certificates for secure destruction jobs
  • Nationwide logistics on request

RECYCLE BY MAIL

One old laptop? Mail it in — the label's on us.

For residents and remote workers anywhere in the US. Tell us what you're sending and we'll email you a free prepaid UPS or FedEx shipping label for qualified small devices — laptops, tablets, phones and the like. Pack them in any sturdy box, drop it at a UPS Store or FedEx location, or have FedEx pick it up at your door.

  • Free prepaid shipping label — all 50 states
  • Drop off at any UPS Store or FedEx location, or schedule a FedEx home pickup
  • Free data-wipe certificate on request — your files are gone, provably
  • Returning a company laptop? Perfect for remote employees, too

We review each request before sending your label. Large items like TVs and monitors — or boxes of cables alone — don't qualify for a free label, but reach out anyway and we'll point you to the right option.

HOST AN EVENT

Host a free electronics recycling & shredding event

  • Free hard drive shredding and secure intake
  • Community engagement and ESG impact
  • Easy to organize — we handle the details
  • Great for Florida municipalities, chambers, and HOAs

Or turn it into an e-waste fundraiser

A program the ERA network has run for years in Canada — now available to Florida groups. Your school, church, nonprofit or community group collects devices; we handle everything else, at no cost to you.

  • Collection bins, optional event staff and equipment removal provided
  • Co-branded marketing to promote your drive
  • Cash rebates begin after a 50-item minimum of working devices
  • Per-item rebates for intact laptops and tablets; premium per-pound rates for phones

VOLUNTEER

Hands-on volunteer opportunities.

Help sort, test and refurbish donated equipment at our Florida facility. Great for students, IT professionals brushing up hardware skills, and anyone who wants to give back in a tangible way.

And there's something in it for you: volunteers who complete their hours earn a refurbished computer to take home.

  • Computer technician — sort, test and refurbish equipment; no experience needed
  • Awareness ambassador — represent ERA at collection events and community days
  • Office administration — help with scheduling, intake and donation records
  • Earn a refurbished computer after completing your volunteer hours

YOUTH PROGRAMS

Parts to PC & scholarship support.

Our youth programs turn refurbished components into hands-on learning. In Parts to PC, students build a working PC from parts, take it home, and gain technical skills in the process. The format is proven — the ERA network's Canadian workshops regularly fill up — and it's launching at our Fort Lauderdale warehouse.

  • Free two-hour Parts to PC workshops for ages 12–15
  • Saturday sessions, capped at 10 students; parental consent form required
  • Scholarship support with refurbished laptops
  • Florida schools and after-school programs prioritized
  • Volunteer opportunities for mentors and IT pros
