Jeremy Farber, President and Founder
Jeremy’s predilection for entrepreneurial ventures first emerged from a simple dorm room, cottage industry during his time at the esteemed Military College of South Carolina (The Citadel). Witnessing a need for his fellow students to sport their team spirit during college athletic events, Jeremy began producing shirts for his fellow faithful. After graduating in 1999 with a Bachelors of Science in Accounting, Jeremy chose to travel for a year in South America, immersing himself in the study of Spanish and international business. Upon his stateside return, Jeremy began acquiring and selling previously owned computers on eBay. As demand grew, Jeremy discovered some of the old computer systems he had obtained were not fit enough for sale. It dawned on him that the disposal of these unsalvageable devices needed an environmentally sound solution. Many recycling firms would not accept these devices for processing; however, Jeremy was not deterred. He developed his own process for the effective, secure, complete recycle of such products, and in 2003, established PC Recycler, Inc. in Albany, NY. Successful growth lead to an expansion into the Washington, D.C. area market in 2005, and demand for PC Recycler’s signature green solutions has yet to slow.
In 2007, Jeremy was appointed to the Virginia Joint Commission on Technology and Science eCycling Advisory Committee, chaired by Delegate Joe T. May and Senator Mamie Locke.
In May 2008, Jeremy was chosen as one of Washington, D.C.’s Bisnow Top 35 Entrepreneurs Under 35.
During his spare time, Jeremy enjoys serving his community by participating in the Junior Achievement program and coaching local high school basketball.

Jeffrey’s knowledge has led to steady clientele growth for PC Recycler.

During his nearly 26 years working at the federal government level, Russell earned a variety of exemplary performance and safety awards.

Russell joined the PC Recycler team in 2007. His experience has been an invaluable asset to the daily operations of the firm.
"We had laboratory electronics that were collecting dust and getting in the way. PC Recycler picked up some old computers for us before, so we knew about their great service, but never thought that they would be willing to take such unique things. We were thrilled when a few days later we got back all that extra space in our lab thanks to their prompt pickup of the items."
