Data Center Decommissioning & ITAD in Virginia
Northern Virginia holds more live data center capacity than any other market on earth. USACA Group clears halls, cages and rack rows across Ashburn and Loudoun County with serialized custody from the floor to the destruction record.
How projects run in Virginia
Data Center Alley in Ashburn and eastern Loudoun County concentrates hyperscale, wholesale and carrier capacity in a few square miles, so projects here are usually measured in rack rows and halls rather than individual cabinets.
Because so many tenants share campuses, operators enforce strict badge, escort and dock scheduling rules — the approval paperwork often takes longer than the physical de-rack, which is why we start it before scoping is finalized.
Federal and government-adjacent contractors in the region frequently require NIST 800-88 aligned sanitization evidence per device, so destruction records are produced by serial rather than by weight.

On the ground
What we handle so your team does not have to.
Campus access and escort planning
Badge requests, escort requirements, insurance certificates and dock windows are filed and confirmed in writing before crews mobilize to an Ashburn campus.
Row-by-row hall clearance
Halls are cleared in defined rows so containment, power whips and cooling stay balanced while neighbouring tenants remain in production.
Dock throughput management
Shared docks are the usual bottleneck in this market, so pallet build, staging and truck arrivals are sequenced to the slots the operator grants.
Sealed transport to our warehouse
Data-bearing media leaves under numbered seals with custody scans recorded at load-out and again at receiving.
Evidence and compliance
Documentation your auditors will accept.
NIST 800-88 aligned sanitization
Degaussing, crushing and shredding methods are mapped to recognized sanitization guidance and recorded against each serial number.
Per-device destruction certificates
Certificates list make, model, serial, method, operator and date so they can be attached straight to an audit or contract deliverable.
R2v3 and ISO downstream control
Non-reusable material is routed only through audited downstream processors under R2v3, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 procedures.
