Why Is Baton Rouge a Hub for Certified Hard Drive Destruction?
Louisiana's state capital and second-largest city, Baton Rouge (~230,000 population; East Baton Rouge Parish ~470,000) sits on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River anchoring the Capital Region. As the seat of Louisiana state government — home to the tallest US state capitol building, the Governor's Office, and the full Louisiana Legislature — Baton Rouge generates an unusually high concentration of government IT assets requiring certified NIST 800-88 hard drive destruction under FISMA and 36 CFR Part 1234 records management rules.
The regional economy is driven by petrochemical and energy (ExxonMobil Baton Rouge Refinery, one of the world's largest refineries; BASF Corporation), healthcare (the 1,000-acre Baton Rouge Health District, OLOLRMC as the only Level I Trauma Center in the Capital Region, Ochsner Health Baton Rouge, and Woman's Hospital — Louisiana's largest birthing hospital), and education (LSU flagship with 54,000+ students and $488M in research activity). STS Electronic Recycling serves organizations throughout the Capital Region — including Gonzales, Prairieville, Denham Springs, and Port Allen — from our 600,000 sq ft R2v3 certified facility, providing NAID AAA hard drive destruction, mobile on-site shredding, and HIPAA-compliant data destruction for businesses throughout East Baton Rouge Parish, West Baton Rouge Parish, Ascension Parish, and Livingston Parish.
