Computer Recycling of Virginia

What Computer Recycling of Virginia does

Computer Recycling of Virginia, Inc. (CRVA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2001 and headquartered in Miller's Tavern, Virginia. The organization provides IT asset disposition (ITAD) and electronics recycling services to Virginia-based schools, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, businesses, and residential customers. Its service portfolio comprises four core offerings: an on-site ITAD recycling pickup service for businesses and organizations, NIST 800-88 compliant secure data destruction, residential electronics recycling collection events, and a Free Computers for VA Schools donation program that has placed over 20,000 internet-accessible computers with Virginia schools and nonprofits.

CRVA's technology footprint is anchored in NIST 800-88 compliant data destruction protocols that exceed industry standards for complete data erasure on retired IT equipment. Beyond data destruction, the operating model is logistics-driven: physical pickup services across Virginia, residential collection events, and a refurbishment pipeline that channels working equipment into the schools donation program. The organization markets primarily through its website (recycle4va.org), community outreach to schools and nonprofits, and recurring collection events.

The business model combines paid ITAD services for Virginia businesses with donation-supported operations characteristic of a 501(c)(3). Services to eligible Virginia schools and 501(c)(3) nonprofits are provided free of charge, while business customers appear to access pickup and data destruction services on a transactional basis. CRVA operates with 1–10 employees and serves exclusively the Virginia market. No revenue, funding, or financial figures are publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• ERI (Electronic Recyclers International): One of the largest U.S. e-waste recyclers operating R2-certified facilities nationwide. Directly comparable as an ITAD and e-waste service provider, but at a far broader geographic and capacity scale than CRVA's Virginia-only footprint.
