Request a Prepaid Shipping Label
When Apopka IT managers need certified IT asset disposal without scheduling an on-site pickup, STS issues a prepaid shipping label on request. Pack your retired electronics, attach the label, and drop off at any authorized carrier location. No minimum quantities are required, making this program ideal for small businesses, remote contributors, and Apopka organizations managing end-of-life equipment.
Each shipping label is tied to a unique job reference number, establishing chain-of-custody from your Apopka address through arrival at our facility. Larger volumes ship under a single job ID for consolidated documentation. For organizations needing both mail-in and on-site service, our full-service Apopka ITAD services offer flexible options based on project scope.
Corporate IT Directors typically expect serial-number-specific Certificates of Destruction for compliance reviews—standard in every STS mail-in recycling engagement for Apopka organizations.
