Computers & Education "Computer Recycling Center" (CRC) is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization. Founded in 1991, it is the largest of its kind in California, and the oldest in the USA, continuously operating full-service collection, reuse, and refurbishment program. Working with businesses and municipalities, CRC's participation in collection and drop-off programs diverted over 6 million pounds of computer equipment from landfills last year. Reuse of entire units is given highest priority, followed by disassembly for reuse of parts, and finally recycling for the elements of unusable remaining items.
